Can you prevent Windows popping up/coming to the front?

Bit of a small niggle, but one that I'd like to stop.

It's not actual Pop-Up windows, Opera blocks those by default.

It's stuff like ImageShack- I open several images/pages in background tabs but then that page will leap to the front like a hyperactive toddler shouting "Look at me!"

I was reading a car review on a site the other day with small thumbnails for the gallery throughout- I tried to open them in the background and read the review first but the pics kept leaping forward at their own will.

It's not just web pages in Opera- some programs demand to be seen first too- AVG's a pain, you can't update it in the background, it has to keep jumping forwards.

Is their any setting in Windows to lock stuff where it's meant to be to stop me getting wound up? Or should I just buy some sedatives?

I've tried Googling but all I can find is endless pop-up blocker sites.
