Unable to "lock" window placement

Submitted by BPRampe on August 4, 2008 to Annoyance, Usability

Windows doesn't really allow you to "lock" Windows placement and active windows often become obfuscated by pop-ups or other activities (either invoked by the user or a process).

I often find that I am monitoring several activities on my system (e.g. file download, file copy, CD/DVD burn, watching media player video, etc.) and position each activities' windows such that I can monitor each concurrently. If I need to open another program or window to quickly check on something, I have re-position each of these windows again.

- Enable "Always Visible" option for all Explorer windows and dialogs
- Enable view state saving
- Enable virtual desktops
