How to keep a window always on top

Sometimes we need to keep a window on top of another for the convenience of working. But some programs do not come with a built in always keep on top option. Like - MS Word, Excel, Power-point and browsers do not have this option. What if you want to keep them on top of another program. Suppose you need to copy data form a word document to an excel sheet. Your work would be more easier if you can keep the word document on top of excel sheet, so that when you work on excel sheet the word document do not get minimized.

There are some keep on top softwares. But most often they fail to work on windows 8/10. The method I am going to share works for all programs in windows 8 and higher.

First download and install AutoHotKey. It is free.
Now create a notepad document in your desktop and paste the following code in it.

^#Up::WinSet,AlwaysOnTop,Toggle,A

Now save the notepad and rename it with .ahk extension like: Always on top.ahk

Now when ever you need to keep a window always on top just run this notepad script by double clicking on it. Then select the window you want to keep on top and press these three key together: Ctrl+Windows+Up Arrow



Watch this video tutorial if you have any problem understanding the method.
