Hi all

Does anyone know how to force an application to always display on top of
other applications in the same way as the Windows Task Manager?

I am currently using AutoCAD (always full screen) but need to refer to an
electronic catalogue for part sizes.

Thanks to anyone who can help with this.

This is a function of the application, not the operating system. You need to check the specific application's options. You can also try a web search for phrases like:

keep selected app "always on top"

One such example is: http://www.sharewareconnection.com/wintopmost-disable-close.htm

Software that comes with NVidia video cards can do this - see Disaplay in Control Panel. If I know the titlebar text I can write a 2 line program for you.
