Windows 10 How do I Keep Notepad on the Screen

[Hermitkrab]

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.

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. PowerMenu 1.51 – AbstractPath

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.
