Over the last couple of days a little annoyance has come along and I take it to be very simple but haven't found a fix for it yet.
Whenever I open a new program from the start menu or try and open up a minimised program it no longer comes back to the front of the screen but sits at the back making me minimise everything else open before I can view it. Another thing that has come along with this is with text fields, instead of automatically being able to type something in a username/password box when it prompts me to, I have to actually click on it first so I can type in it. Its nothing much but after just automatically expecting this stuff for so long its hard getting adjusted to. Any idea as to how to fix this back up? Is it a simple option in Control Panel which I've overlooked? I've tried Googling for a solution but its kinda hard to think of relevant search terms without having to sift through a pile of irrelevant results.
Thanks in advance.

Go here and scroll down to the left hand pane number 66, then go across to the right hand column Prevent Programs Stealing Focus and get the vb script fix. This should fix the problem... Troubleshooting Windows XP, Tweaks and Fixes for Windows XP
