Yesterday's Visitor Feedback question was sent in from Arlene M. In a nutshell, she asked if it was possible to make a window *always* stay on top of other windows, even after clicking or moving other windows.

My response stated that, "If a window is active (IE: in use), it will remain on top of all other windows. Once another window is clicked or moved, it becomes the active window [and all other windows fall behind]."

I also provided Arlene with some great keyboard shortcuts to make flipping through windows a real snap:

[Just download and] unzip it, add it to the [Windows] Start Up [Folder], and you're done! ... [To use the program], right click on the Title Bar of the window you want [to stay opened] on top, and chose 'always on top'. You might have to click twice to see it on the menu, but it shows as the last entry. "

Thanks again, Pippie!
