IE6 windows stealing focus

[idmarsh]

I often have multiple IE6 windows open at a given time,
and when one of those I'm not viewing finishes loading in
the background, it usually steals focus from the one I
am. This can be a nuisance when you're typing something
in the active window; the last few letters will show up
in a field on the new one, for example the Google search
field or what have you.

I have TweakUI, which has an option to prevent different
apps from stealing focus, but not windows within a single
app, in this case IE6. Tried various searches on this
issue but no luck yet.

Hi,
The TweakUI option to "prevent applications from stealing focus" seemed to
work for me with IE4. It apparently doesn't work with IE5, 5.5 or 6.

The only suggestion I've seen that works is to minimize the window you don't
want to see.
