EB has a little \t\t\t\tprogram she likes that keeps a program window on top of all \t\t\t\tother windows. Just the other day I needed a program like that but I couldn’t \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’d 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 – a program to make a window sticky.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

EB will be jealous. She uses some old \t\t\t\tclunky program from 1994 to make a program window sticky – i.e. \t\t\t\tstay on top of all others. Don’t ask me the name of it, but \t\t\t\tshe’s 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. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

EB is jealous I can tell!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

DeskPins is kind of fun. It’s like \t\t\t\tsticking a thumb tack into a program window –\u00a0 it sticks the \t\t\t\twindow to your screen. And it’s always on top no matter what \t\t\t\telse you open. It’s handy when you’re 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 – and I \t\t\t\twill be using DeskPins. It’s better than her old clunker, I bet! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

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 I \t\t\t\tfound something fun and better than her old outdated 1994 model program. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m so proud. Want to see?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

See the red tack? I love this program. I didn’t have to beg EB. <\/span><\/p>\n

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 – fear not. I’ve 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The DeskPins developer (and it looks like he hasn’t touched his \t\t\t\tsite since ought-two) says this:<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“DeskPins 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 “Always on Top” setting found in some programs. With \t\t\t\tDeskPins you can add this feature to any program!”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Make your windows sticky with DeskPins<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n
