Always Keep a Window on Top<\/h4>\n

By Windows Guides<\/p>\n

A handy application that can will keep any program you specify – front and center.
–PC Pitstop.<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

Some of the programs that we use in Windows, have a system menu containing an option \u2013 Always on top. If selected, this feature sets a window to be always on top of other windows. This is very useful if you want to work across multiple windows but want to focus more of your attention on a particular window. You can set that window to be always on top and keep an eye on it. I personally use this feature to set my TV Tuner window to be always on top so that I can enjoy TV programs while doing work at the same time.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately this Always on Top option is not available in many programs. Possibly because the software designer never thought that users will ever need such a feature. However, if you want to keep a program always on top, you can use the Always On Top application<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Please note: Always on Top is not a free application. The application can be purchased for $19.95.<\/em><\/p>\n
