option 1 = use two (or more monitors) and spread the desktop
option 2 (windows 8, 8.1 or X) = split the metro screen

@Hermitkrab PowerMenu 1.51 should do the trick for you. Link Removed

It came out back in the WinXP days but it still works and I use it on my PC, Win10 with no problems. Hope this helps!

Notepad doesn't have a "Always on Top" feature, but you could use Notepad++ which does under View > "Always on Top"

You could also try this cool little script add-on. I haven't tried it myself, but make sure to scan it with your AV program before using. Here's the link I found for you: Always on Top: Keep Any Window Visible Always

Post back and let us know how it works for you.
Best,

Thanks, all. I'm going with Notepad++. I vaguely recall reading about that program somewhere. I'll post back if there's any problem. Thanks again for the rapid replies.
