Just a quick question, I'm wondering if this can be done by just changing some setting.

When I'm typing while something else is happening in the background (like a file move), it can ask me for confirmation on some action.
Sometimes I accidentally confirm or cancel such actions because the MessageBox took my input from what I was typing.

I want to prevent certain MessageBoxes from taking focus, if possible.
Any ideas?

It's best to get at the root of the problem. What program is causing the boxes?

Ahh, sorry. Just use the command prompt for file moves. It's better anyway.

I guess it only happens when certain keys are used when the MessageBox is on focus.

I won't use the command prompt for file moves, pfft (typing those commands would take longer than all the file moves), I'll just be a little more careful.

I'm talking about sorting files actually, say for a dir with 300 files where different numbers of files have to be moved to different directories (/drives).
A command given in a graphical environment would be way easier and faster than in a command prompt.

Sorry, even as a big fan of command lines, I'm with solo here. The command line is NOT as quick as a GUI drag and drop.

I knew someone would come up with such accusations, but actually I wasn't talking about porn files, only you losers have such things.

The files I was moving were more like backups of files and CD images of my CDs.

But, yeah, it'd be porn in your situation.

Donkano, you completely missed the point of this thread, are you really that stupid?
