accessing different windows...

In my application I have to open a window (say window2) when a button(in window1) is pressed. I want window2 to be on top. window1 should be visible but should not be accessible. How do i do this? keeping window2 on top is easy. Its the other part i'm stuck with...
Why does window1 still have to be visible. I have three thoughts:JOptionPane.JTabbedPane.CardLayout.

Window 2 here is like an About box in Notepad. Small window on top of the original application. you have to close it to access notepad again.

What is it's purpose? Notify user of something or to ask a simple question/get simple input? Then use JOptionPane.

Its just a window giving instructions on how to use the application. The user just views it and closes it. No input is accepted from the user.

I actually want to open another frame all together and not using JOptionPane.
