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.

"Not shown: runs on Vista 32-bit with no fuss."
Version: DeskPins 1.30
Pros
Handy and simple, at least for the basics - which is the only way I use it. (Can't say anything about the 'Autopin' or 'Hotkeys' features.)
Cons
Not crazy about the looks of the tray icon or the push-pin that gets tacked onto a window when one pins it. They're a little bit graphically unrefined for my taste. But serviceable.

"Great little pin"
Version: DeskPins 1.30
Pros
I can pin anything topmost, meaning the multitude of uses makes this one of my greatest finds.
Cons
Iit will not stay on my taskbar after I close down the computer and I have to open it each time I open the computer, but that could just be me not knowing how to do it.
Summary
This is so very easy to use, it has the pin that can be click on and out onto any item or multiple items to hold it in top position and I would be lost without it. Works just as well in my windows 7 64-bit as it did in XP. A treasure find

"Great product that eliminates so much hassle."
Version: DeskPins 1.30
Pros
Does what its supposed to do, and uses no memory or resources.
Cons
I wish they would update the icon, to match Win7.
Summary
Great little program that does what it is supposed to do. Not many programs do that anymore these days. Must have for the multi-taskers out their.

"Works on WIndows 7, 64-bit"
Version: DeskPins 1.30
Pros
* Works as advertised.
* Negligible memory footprint.
* No frills whatsoever.Cons
* It's not already installed on Windows.
* I tried to pin a "Stick Note" (preinstalled Windows 7 widget). The always-on-top feature worked, but no pin appeared on the note.Summary
If you need this feature, use this app.
FYI regarding review by zdreams2002: I'm using Windows 7, 64-bit and Google Chrome, and it works just fine.
