Is there any way to prevent the FOCUS from changing.

Often when I start my comptuer or sign onto the internet (in some
locations I have to use dial-up) there are many applications starting
at once. I'll be typing away a username or password and some other
applicaiton will steal the focus. Meaning my typing is in the wrong place
so I have to delete it. Then click to get back to what I was doing, etc.

It's annoying.

Any ideas on how to keep the CURRENT window CURRENT ??

No unfortunately. It's still something that beta testers are requesting of the Vista developers (as has happened for the last decade's worth of Windows releases).
