HELP!!! Hi - How can I force a particular window to ALWAYS be on top of any other windows? Or, to put it another way...I don't want any other windows to popup over my "primary window". Thanks for your expert help! Douglas Chew Oakland, CA

Could you explain a little more what you want? If you have one window in front always and no others are allowed in front, how will you ever see anything else? What am I missing that you want?

I don't think there is any setting on IE that will allow that. I know that the windows task manager has that option, but I don't think IE does. Man who fish in other man's well often catch crabs

Generally speaking thats is a function that is built into the application by the programmer. If the programmer did not programme such a function then the OS will automatically bring the active Window to the front unless there are other Windows that do have their "always on top" flag set. The only way you are going to do it is to write a programme that monitors your window and every time something pops up and pushes your window to the rear, the programme brings it back to the front again. It would appear that someone has already done that. http://www.actualtools.com/titlebuttons/stay_on_top_windows.shtml Stuart

Salgolf, thanks for your help. Don't care about accessing anything under the "primary window". Just want to prevent ANY other windows (alert or otherwise) from popping up. Any ideas? THANKS EVERYONE!!!

Autohotkey (http://www.autohotkey.com/) will do this with the following code. WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, on, Window-Title where Window-Title is the window you want to always be ontop. You need to create a script and have it running in the background. There are instructions on the website.

>> where Window-Title is the window you want to always be ontop. That should say where "Window-Title" is the title of the window you want to be always ontop.
