Prevent Fullscreen games from minimizing?

I've been playing an ARPG called Path of Exile lately, and the game seems to run way smooth in Fullscreen mode than it does in Windowed Fullscreen. The only problem I have is if a window pops up outside of the game, it'll minimize the game and pull me out of it. Since I'm playing a hardcore character, this is potentially deadly and a situation I'm looking to avoid. Is there any way possible to prevent another window from taking focus and minimizing another program like the game I'm trying to play?

 

Prevent Fullscreen games from minimizing?

I've actually never had the game minimize on me...yet. It's something I'm always worried about happening though. The one time it did minimize was because I plugged my phone in and the AutoPlay window popped up asking what I want to do about the Removable Disk that was just plugged in. So I'm mostly asking this as a preventative measure, I've invested about 3 weeks into this level 79 character, it would suck for it to die because the game got minimized for some unforeseen reason. So there's no way of forcing a window to always stay in focus or something along those lines?

Some other things I've tested though so not minimize the game, like a Steam message from a friend won't minimize. I'm not sure why some things do and some don't. But if there was a way to prevent it, I'd like to do it.

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?
