win32pad (editor) windows are suddenly all set to "always on top"! How to fix?

I have almost zero experience with Windows 10. I was part of the Insider Program but to install and get it to run on a Laptop inside a VM took all day. It was just too time consuming. But I recommend the Windows Ten Forum while continuing to pursue the thread here. I'm sure many of the regulars there have multi-monitor setups. They may have a clue what is causing the intermittent behavior.

I don't see that you've uninstalled and reinstalled the application? Or tried it in a different directory?

I haven't. Since win32pad doesn't have an option to export its settings and since I don't want to lose them, that's kind of a 'last resort' thing to do. And the problem coming and going without my input seems to point in some other direction, no?

It doesn't store anything in the registry (unless you using setup.exe and select some choices for integration with IE or with Windows Explorer).
The "other place" is according to Windows spec which is your profile directory.
Look in c:\documents and settings\<userid>\Application Data\Gena01\Win32Pad\win32pad.ini
Thank you,

That said...
1) Either you enabled it accidentally from the view menu.
or
2) It sound's like it's not saving the always on top setting right each time from the view menu as far as I can tell was implemented from the version history.
Along with the read me claims it stores ini in app folder, but note that I found the settings in the app data folder as was said from the quoted post I copied from the support form for it linked to above.
Hope that helps.

What you wrote was "switched off the monitor" but I saw it plural somehow. My bad. :D
