We previously covered a tool PowerMenu that can keep a Windows Always on Top on desktop. The tool was developed in previous Windows, even though it still works in Windows 7 it has some glitches that will stop working sometime.
Here is another tool, Window On Top, that works a bit smoother in Windows 7. Besides its key feature that keeps a program on ways on top of the other programs, it’s also a portable tool that doesn’t require any installation process as well as offers a shortcut that can make any programs on top a lot easier.
To make a window on top, simply drag the hand icon in the program and drop it on the program you want to stay on top.
Or, make it easier, highlight the program and press Ctrl+F8 to enable or disable the on-top feature.
Even though it doesn’t have other features PowerMenu offer, such as transparency and minimize to tray, it does make the key feature, make a program always on top, super easier. And it works very stable.
Software works as mentioned. Nice, small, easy to install download. Thanks 🙂
very Nice it solved my problem … thanks!!
I can really reccomend Dexpot. Although the program is actually for using virtual desktops, it happens to have this too.
Look for WinWarden tiny tool…
Jow, what’s more annoying is Windows DID HAVE THIS FEATURE back in the day. I’m not sure when exactly it was removed – but Win 3.1 definitely had it..
I know! I was looking all over and really surprised to find it didn’t exist anymore…
Thank you!!!! NOW i can work properly :))
I don’t know if this has anything to do with the function of the tool, but when I ran the download link for Window On Top through VirusTotal (virustotal.com), it came up with a malicious engine. Is this just part of the programming, or is it genuinely something that could harm my computer?
F.Y.I: the malicious engine detected was called Dr.Web.
Not sure which file you dropped on VirusTotal as I just did one and it passes all the tests.

I also just scanned the file on FIVE different online anti-virus sites and they all came back clean.
