    Windows' explorer won't open on top?


    Hi,

    Windows' explorer will not open on top. If I've got other applications open and I click on the 'My Computer' icon in the taskbar the Explorer window opens behind the window of the opened application.

    Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me, but I thought those windows used to open 'on top'.

    If so. How do I restore the old behaviour ?

    If you can't find the 'native' way to accomplish this, you can take a look at these 3rd party apps:

    Always On Top - Keep any window visible always
    Window On Top
    Nail It will keep any window on top (free)
