    Reserve screen space and prevent windows overlapping?


    Hi all. Okay.

    Here is a screen of my desktop.

    See that winamp toolbar thing at the top there? Well, it's not a toolbar so much as it is a really thin window. My intention is to have it there permanently. Now I know I can set it to always on top from within winamp, but then, were I to aero-snap a window into full or half screen (or even maximize a window), I would lose access to the title bar of that window because there would be a winamp on top of it.

    Basically, I don't want windows intersecting with it and I want aero snap to snap around it. I'm a noob so I don't know where to start.

    Please help? and thank you in advance.

    Hmm, i think that would require some kind of 3rd party software, if it is even possible...

    Have a look at these 3 options. I myself use Deskpins (last option) which works well for what I am using it.

    Thanks whs, but it looks like these are all to simply keep a window always on to. Like I said, I can already do that, but I also want to stop other windows from intersecting one another.

Hi I'm new to Windows 7 and here. Some way, I think I deleted or disabled the ribbon thing at the startup so now it won't pop up anymore. I had my recycle bin, mozilla, everything on that ribbon and now it's gone. How do I get it back on my desktop?
