Publisher's description
From Elias Fotinis :DeskPins can be used to make any application topmost, that is, to keep it above all other windows. Just grab a pin from the DeskPins icon in the system notification area (a.k.a. taskbar tray) and click on any window. This functionality is identical to the "Always on Top" setting found in some programs. With DeskPins you can add this feature to any program!
What's new in this version:
- Wildcard-based Autopin feature.
- Language packs.
- Support for any pin color.
- Tab-based Options dialog.
- Better XP themes support.

Cons: None - DeskPins is a simple utility that does a useful thing very nicely.
Summary: It is a shame Microsoft hasn't embedded this little utility in Windows. If you are ever in the situation of using two or more applications at once but the normal tiling or <alt-tab> switching is bothersome then this utility is a lifesaver. ... read more >>

Version: DeskPins 1.30
"Deskpins does exactly what it is intended to do"
Pros: Allows you to keep a program on top of another, allowing you to watch a movie while searching the web. It is easily shut down by clicking the thumbtack on the program you have pinned. This is the most innovative software for it's intended purpose.
Cons: To be honest I can't complain. If I had to make a complaint, it would be that this program should have the option of setting a hotkey to it, that way I wouldn't have to click the taskbar in order to get the program going.
Summary: The bottom line is if you want to be able to watch a video while doing other things, or even play a full screen game while keeping an eye on another program, this is the product for you. It is a small installation, and runs convieniently from your t... read more >>
