Flashing Buttons

Windows prevents other applications from stealing focus while you are typing or doing other input work in a program. If another program needs your attention in this case, its button on the taskbar flashes. If you want to maintain this blinking, Enable flashing taskbar buttons must remain selected.

The section Flashing speed lets you specify how many times the button should blink. You can choose from two options. The first causes the button to blink until you click it. The second causes the button to only blink the specified number of times. The default setting is three.

Under General, you can specify how long Windows should wait after your last key press before allowing other applications to steal the focus.
