CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Set a window to stay on top with this single-function but handy application. Stay On Top's interface is merely an icon in the system tray. Many users keep multiple programs running. Though some applications feature a stay-on-top feature, the option is not always available. Stay On Top displays the list of active windows when right-clicked. Select a listed window to force it to stay on top of all windows. To return to normal windows functionality, simply reselect the listed item. Though the feature is extremely basic, a small instruction or help file is needed for novices. This freeware is a great help to any user who wants a window to stick on top.Publisher's description
From N/A :Allows you to force a window to "stay on top" of the other windows. Just right-click on the icon in the system tray and a menu will display listing all open visible windows. Just select the window you want to "stay on top". You can also use this menu to tell windows to STOP staying on top.

Version: Stay On Top 1.1
"Has been a very helpfull program."
Pros: It's only purpose is to keep specific windows on top always. A it does just that. I have used this Stay on Top before, and have found new use for it.
Cons: My only complaint is that it only does the one action, keep windows on top. The program is taking up system resources already, so why not add a sticky-note feature.
Summary: I have never had a problem with this program. It is great for online scool work and many other projects. You can keep your notes on top of your document while you are typing. So there is less task bar clicking or ALT-TABBING.

Version: Stay On Top 1.1
"Why didn't I know about this sooner?"
Pros: Simple, Compact, No Frills. Just like every windows app came with the option to stay on top. Great for streaming movies in Firefox in the corner of my monitor while I am using AutoCAD. Don't tell my boss!
Cons: None known
Summary: Like every app had a "Stay On Top" option, period.
