“Pinning” should be our new favorite word. I’ve been using DeskPins for only 3 days now, and it’s pretty cool. It lets you “pin” a window to the desktop so that it stays on top of other windows. I use this to keep track of windows that I have created to hold statistics that I like to use. Now I don’t have to go hunting through all the windows I have open, they’re right there on top.

The idea is very simple. Click once on the icon in the system tray (red arrow), then click on the window that you want to pin (blue arrow). Bam! Just like that.

It’s just a quick, no-nonsense app that does what it says it does. If only more things could be like DeskPins, the world would be a better place.

About: I was born in Maine, and I’ll be a Maniac til I die. I’ve lived in several states, been in several countries, and lived outside the US so far (I’m not thirty yet). Right now I live in Kansas with my wife, Jana, and our four month old daughter, Bailey. I have a degree in Information Systems Technology from Penn State University and another degree in Computer Information Systems from Central Pennsylvania College. I started as a history major at the University of Central Florida but found that very very boring. So now I’m working at the Wichita State University here in Kansas doing what I love to do – expanding my computer horizons and deciding which of my 5 monitors I should work on next.See Authors Posts (11) and posted on 2009-08-26 @ 14:58:25-0400 and filed under Windows.
