Keep your Important window Always on Top

Hi! Everyone, hope you all are fine.
In this post I will help you in keeping your one window on top of the other window you are working on.

Think when you are watching a video in a player (let’s take VLC media player) and also working on word or surfing on the internet in maximized mode. So, when you are watching the video and switch to the browser the VLC media player disappears as it went back, behind the browser.

So what you do when you are watching the video and also suffering on internet or working on word???
Possible solution can be:-
1.       Keep on switching the windows.
2.       Resize the window size.
3.       Or do one work at a time.

But now you don’t have to do all this, let see what is the solution to keep the player (or any other window) on top of the other, even after switching the one window to other.



Surfing on the internet but the player is always on the top.



Working on the MS Excel but the Calculator is always on the top.

1st download Always on Top utility, Click here (<200 kb).
Its free utility written in Autohotkey which will stick the any program window to the foreground (on top) of your desktop.

After downloading open the zip file in to your computer

Now run the always-on-top.exe file.

Now select the window you want to keep on top (like in upper example VLC media player window will get selected), after selecting the window press Ctrl + Space Bar this is the shortcut key to stick the window to the foreground of your desktop. Now wherever you want to keep that window in your screen you can keep it, it will come on top of every window. And do all your work without letting hide the other window.

And if you want to disable it press the same shortcut key Ctrl + Space Bar this will disable the sticking.

Thanks to Amit from Digital Inspiration.

Tip: you can also keep more then one window on the top by selecting each window at a time and press Ctrl + Space Bar respectively.



Working on the MS word but keeping the three different window always on the top.

Hi! Everyone, hope you all are fine.
But after reading this you may once not be fine, but don’t worry you will be fine. In this post I am going to inform you about the scamming in/through facebook. You must have show, such post posted by your friends or by you yourself in facebook…

Few e.g.:-
1. OMG OMG OMG… I can’t believe this actually works! Now you really can see who views your profile!!! WOAH –>

2. OMG!! Justin Biebers Ex GIRLFRIEND just RELEASED his new CELL PHONE NUMBER!!

3. OMG!! Guys, you have to see this: This mother went to jail for taking this pic of her son! --->

There are many sites, applications and facebook page which are scam by scammers. Like the 1st e.g. (OMG OMG OMG… I can’t believe this actually works! Now you really can see who views your profile!!! WOAH –>) facebook don’t have any such things by which users or anyone can get to know about the information of who have visited your profile. There are millions of people got trapped (including you).

When you go to any such page, you will see they will 1st ask you to click on like button on their page.Then they will ask you to share given massage on facebook many times in different places then only you will able to access to the application (by which you are helping them to spread the scam to your friends and through that to their friends), then you might be taken to the page where they asked you to complete a facebook (fake) survey, in that survey you will be asked to give your personal information e.g.: your phone no., your address and so on. Which can be misuse and also they earn from that.

So, if you find any such site or page report it immediately to the facebook. And be careful from all this scammer’s sites and also be sure that you are giving your personal information only to reliable sites after conforming weather the site is secure.
