Just  the other day I needed a program like that but I couldn\u2019t  \t\t\t\tremember  the name of the one she uses. But if I wrote her and  \t\t\t\tasked her the  name of it, she\u2019d make me beg and then accuse me  \t\t\t\tof having  dementia. Who needs the hassle? So I went off and  \t\t\t\tfound my own  little program to keep a program window on top of  \t\t\t\tall others \u2013 a  program to make a window sticky.<\/p>\n<p>EB  will be jealous. She uses some old  \t\t\t\tclunky program from 1994 to  make a program window sticky \u2013 i.e.  \t\t\t\tstay on top of all others.  Don\u2019t ask me the name of it, but  \t\t\t\tshe\u2019s constantly reminding me how  much she uses it. When I went  \t\t\t\toff to find my own program to keep a  window on top off all  \t\t\t\tothers, I found a great one. It does only one  thing. The very  \t\t\t\tthing wanted it to do: it keeps a particular  window (or  \t\t\t\twindows) on top of all others.<\/p>\n<p>EB is jealous I can tell!<\/p>\n<p>DeskPins  is kind of fun. It\u2019s like  \t\t\t\tsticking a thumb tack into a program  window &#8211;\u00a0 it sticks the  \t\t\t\twindow to your screen. And it\u2019s always on  top no matter what  \t\t\t\telse you open. It\u2019s handy when you\u2019re writing  something or  \t\t\t\treferring to something in one window and doing  something in  \t\t\t\tanother. EB uses whatever program she uses all the  time \u2013 and I  \t\t\t\twill be using DeskPins. It\u2019s better than her old  clunker, I bet!<\/p>\n<p>I  really needed a program like DeskPins today and  \t\t\t\tdoggone it, I was  NOT going to grovel around and beg EB. Ha! I  \t\t\t\tfound something fun  and better than her old outdated 1994 model program.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m so proud. Want to see?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2011\/deskpins.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Cloudeight InfoAve\" hspace=\"21\" vspace=\"6\" width=\"510\" height=\"416\" \/><\/p>\n<p>See the red tack? I love this program. I\u00a0didn&#8217;t\u00a0have to beg EB.<\/p>\n<p>DeskPins is a tiny 64KB program that  does only one thing: it makes a  \t\t\t\tprogram window or windows sticky.  And though the author does not  \t\t\t\tlist Windows Vista or Windows 7 \u2013  fear not. I\u2019ve tested it on  \t\t\t\tVista and on Windows 7 64bit. So I can  say without a doubt it  \t\t\t\tworks with Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7  both 32bit and 64bit.<\/p>\n<p>The DeskPins developer (and it looks like he hasn\u2019t touched his  \t\t\t\tsite since ought-two) says this:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cDeskPins can be used to make  any application topmost, that  \t\t\t\tis, to keep it above all other  windows. Just grab a pin from the  \t\t\t\tDeskPins icon in the system  notification area (a.k.a. taskbar  \t\t\t\ttray) and click on any window.  This functionality is identical  \t\t\t\tto the \u201cAlways on Top\u201d setting  found in some programs. With  \t\t\t\tDeskPins you can add this feature to  any program!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/users.forthnet.gr\/pat\/efotinis\/programs\/deskpins.html\" target=\"_blank\"> Make your windows sticky with DeskPins<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EB has a little program she likes that keeps a program window on top of all other windows.
