Changing window focus with mouse pointer

On one of my computers when the mouse pointer moves to another window the focus automatically goes to that window.  But this does not happen on my other machine.  Where can I find the setting to do this?

    Is it possible to stop the window from becoming the top level application (in focus, but behind another window?)  It's been useful to keep the focus of a window and keep it in the background for me.  For example, when I'm looking at a web page in the background with the focus, but keeping other information visible in the top level?

    Thanks,

    John Byrne
