Even from the days of XP, I never found a way to keep either notepad or wordpad on top of other pages. Clicking anywhere on the screen with notepad open immediately minimizes it. Is there any way to keep notepad locked on top of other windows?Thanks in advance for your assisstance.

Assume I want to check the partition NTFS integrity of a Win 7 system from a BootCD with WinXP.
Is this possible?
Or is the WinXP chkdsk utility outdated and NOT usable for Win 7 NTFS systems?

I have three computers with XP, Vista and Win7 in home network.
I cant access always Vista and Win7 from XP by name, only by IP address.
I suspect it's some NetBIOS refresh issue.
Can someone help me?
