One of the major features of the WIMP environment (window, icon, menu, pointing device) of which Microsoft Windows is one example, is that windows that require your attention will flash in the task bar and place themselves on top of any other windows to ensure you answer any questions they have.

Two examples of this are the deleting files option and installation routines. When I'm typing into a chat program at 95 words per minute and some window flashes up on screen, as soon as I type any letter that corresponds to the button for an option in that screen, the program carries on as if I'd wanted it to follow that particular decision.

It's utterly shit. I don't want to delete those files I had accidentally mis-selected because I'm talking to someone about KY jellY (for the "Yes" button) and I don't want to install to the default location just because I'm typing about porNography (for the installation's "Next" button).

Now I have to re-download all those images I accidentally deleted and re-install that slide show creator into a less conspicuous location!
