Kind regards
Richard Steed

Richard,

This isn't a feature built into Windows (Windows XP don't have this or the other, but many computer manufacturers like Dell, as well as manufacturers like nVidia graphics card) other software that allows you to do this for any open program.

My recommendation is to perform an Internet search for a similar software.  One who seems perfect for you is this always-On-Top utility, available here.

  • How can I make calculator Windows always stay 'on top' of an application in use?

    I work in Open Office Calc and I want the Windows calculator to "always stay at the top" of the application.  This is so I don't get a response in the calculator, write it down on paper, and then enter the answer to the request.  I have to do this because the calculator with the answer disappears behind the application as soon as I touch a key on the application.

    Maybe someday there will be a way to 'anchor' the calculator to the application so that the calculator does not disappear.

    Thank you.

    There are 3 third-party solutions, you can search on the internet. You can choose one that will work best in your environment.

    Cyrus salvation,

    The issue you mentioned in the description is a feature of Windows 8. Even if you don't have a touch screen, it works. If you don't want this feature, you can disable this feature. Follow the steps below.

    (a) press the Windows key + C key.

    (b) click settings. Click change PC settings.

    (c) click on general, pull the bar OFF option under the 'when I swipre on the Board front to back left, switch directly to my last app'.»»

    The black bar that you see everything by moving the mouse pointer is called bar charms. This is another feature of Windows 8. To learn more about it check out the link below.

  • in windows 7 How to set a window of "stay on top"?

    I want to have the apps to say 1-2 in the foreground who don't go away unless I close them and the rest in the background - applications like IE or Word or GIMP is my scenario.

    Is there an option "prominent"?
    Y at - it an option of "locking in the front?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community
    In IE and MS office cannot be considered always on TOP. There is no such command or option has been added, Windows does not provide a native function for this task
    But some of the player like WMP, VLC, this option will be available that you can bring to the front always
    However the third-party software can do that::Example-
    OnTopReplica

    OnTopReplica uses the Office DWM Composition in Windows Vista and Windows 7 to clone a window and run it in a small thumbnail that always stays on top. It is perfect for keeping only the video image of a VCR on top. OnTopReplica requires .NET Framework 2.0 and a theme of Windows Aero.

  • How to keep Windows 7 drivers updated programmatically.

    What is the best software proven to keep my Windows 7 drivers up to date and avoid blue screens?

    Hello

    Check manually, this is by far the best method:

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: (run DriverView - VIEW set to hide
    Microsoft drivers - update those without drain in the names out there. This utility is not an automatic
    Update, it makes it just easier to know what driver versions are loaded and set to update manually
    the drivers).

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
    It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • Just how I'm a veteran disabled in a Veterans Administration Hospital is going to be able to keep your windows 7 crashes my computer

    Just how I'm a veteran disabled in a Veterans Administration Hospital course in order to keep your windows 7 locking up my computer and putting pop ups all over my screen. I have a Toshiba 1 years with a broken modem computer and so I can never go online to validate and it locked up my computer, so I bought a new better version of Windows 7 called the PRO version to replace Home Premium and now he is locked up, saying that it is not authentic. I'm starting to hate you - all at Microsoft as MY only time spent here has been playing games on this new computer with broken modem. My wife who lives in Texas bought this thing so since I am in Tennessee she can't stop. Here is my email address I want one of you, acquisition cards fresh rich to do something before going on facebook with my old to old to play dell games and tell the world how you - all to former fighter in this country now. E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    I ordered my Windows 7 PRO to Microsoft online of my old Dell, but he wasn't a download, and they should have sent me the numbers with my new box product, but they did not. Microsoft online sent what they thought was my internet address, but I could not see any emails, so they have my money and are happy and I have a piece of plastic and no numbers and I am not happy.

    I suggest you hop on the Microsoft Store website and check your order history.  It should show what you ordered there.  You can post exactly (copy and paste) that you have ordered from here here (do not include product key.)
     
    I assume that you chose "ship" among three given choices:

    1. DOWNLOAD + backup drive (add $14.95)
    2. Download
    3. Ship it

    I'm not sure how they handle that - but I guess that they * could * keep your product key handy in line as well (since you suggest they we sent to you) and if that's true, then maybe you can retrieve your product key from the same web page, different link.
     
    You said that they you sent product key, if I understand, but you have never...  I would ask them to do it again and check the address that they gave to their first record.  I stay on the phone with them while they sent and no crashes until you get the key to product by e-mail.

    • Dial the 1-800-MICROSOFT (1-800-642-7676) for technical support of the product in person, or
    • Call 1-877-MY-MSSTORE (1-877-696-7786) relating to your order of Microsoft US Store and get help with downloading and installing the software

    I'd be surprised if the area they've sent you did not have a product key.  Maybe they do this now to prevent hackers down the product keys for good boxes they ship - but... it would be a little 'out there' for me.
     
    On (in fact) that box of yours, I think that you should have:

    and

    So you're saying that none of these things are there?  If they don't ship their software with the product key, I can see the second is not inside the box - but the first should definitely be there.
     
    If all else fails - perhaps you should return; Although since you opened the box - you can not qualify. They can make an exception; all you can do is ask.

  • 910219. how to download and keep the Windows Update files?

    Hello

    What is the ideal way to update Windows? now, Windows downloads the selected updates. where? I do not know! and after their installation, it removes the packages for installation on my computer. This causes the downloaded updates are lost, and I can't use them to similar machines that need to install the same updates. for these machines, I have to download updates again! This causes my internet to be charged again while it is not really necessary.

    the ideal way, in my view, is that I can specify a folder for the Windows Update service. It can use a default folder for that also. After selecting the updates, I want to install in my system, it checks to see if the update is already existing in the folder. only if NOT it downloads. then after downloading it maintains the package in the same folder after installing. installation should be done automatically as it is done now. Then I can move the folder to another machine. in the second machine, I also choose the update I want to be installed which are mostly the same as the first machine. for example, Windows Update only consumes my internet traffic for updates that are not yet downloaded. I wonder why Windows Update doesn't currently work the same way?

    by this method, I can at least use the consumption of traffic and I can access the latest updates with the easier and faster way. I I would like to choose a memory flash for this purpose and keep the folder inside.

    is there a way to achieve this?

    I have a Toshiba Windows Vista laptop and I want to upgrade to Windows 7. I have two user accounts and I was just wondering that during the upgrade can I still keep the files that I have on the accounts or they will be deleted? Thank you.

    If you make a way to update your programs and files will be kept. A custom installation will remove your programs and files.

    If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can proceed directly to Windows 7, and in other cases, you must perform a custom installation. The following table shows what editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7.

    Windows Vista Home Basic

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business

    Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

    Windows 7 Ultimate

    For more information, see upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 . (http://windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-vista )
    You can't go from 32 bit to 64 bit, a clean install is required. If you have any questions about the upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit or vice versa, please see this FAQ: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions
    If you have any general questions about reinstalling Windows , please see this site:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows

    Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
    Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

    Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
    A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

    • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

    • Install Windows 7

    • Reinstall all your files

    • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

    These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.
