Keeping a program window on top NO MATTER WHAT - possible?
« on: February 24, 2008, 12:43 AM »
I have been looking for almost a year or so now for a simple, extremely barebones app that does nothing but keep a user-selected window on top of everything (and also keeps the focus on the current app until I deliberately click outside/hit a key combo/etc). I get very angry when I am playing a game (or doing the usual activity known as work) and something comes up and says something (or asks a question) and I hit a keyboard key/mouse stroke on one of the options, and something goes wrong/happens/opens/etc.

Skrommel's WinWarden could probably do this, but like I said I want something that just is basically open > pick window > tell to keep on top > done

Anyone have any ideas?

Choose your poison :)

I didn't try any of these apps though, if I needed this feature (unlikely), I'd use WinWarden, as you say.

try looking in this thread: make a window always stay on top. ;)
