Damn I hate Windows sometimes, and my google-fu is failing me.

I have a temporary work computer and ever 2 hours it asks me to restart for some weird reason.
That is usually ok, as I can say "no" 4 times in a row before it forces me to restart by not giving me an option.
However, the annoying thing is that Windows takes focus to any new popup window from where I was happily typing stuffs. So if that popup happens and I hit space without me being quick enough to stop typing then off it pops and dutifully restarts - which kills my analyses that have sometimes been running for hours !

Is there a way to stop Windows taking focus when a new window pops up ?
