Keeping Plan G Window "on top"?

Perhaps this is a basic Windows question, but how can we keep the Plan G window "on top" of FS window? If mouse is used to touch anything on FS menu or control panel, Plan G window minimizes and must be popped up again.

Thanks!

There are a number of utilities, along the lines of "StayOnTop", or "KeepOnTop" or "AlwaysOnTop" that will do it. I've never used any of them, so have no idea how good they are, or whether they are free/pay etc.

I've checked out several means of doing this and recommend a simple utility called Always on Top, at the following link: http://www.labnol.org/software/tutorials/keep-window-always-on-top/5213/, or download directly at http://www.box.net/shared/4ej5cqoekj.

After downloading and unzipping the file, run the executable, select the Plan G window to ensure it's "on top," and then press Ctrl+Space to make it stay on top. If you want to disable this function and restore the default window behavior, press the Ctrl+Space again. I discovered that after I'd activated the function and minimized the Plan G window, I was able to use Ctrl+Space to alternately pop it up and minimize it, with it staying "on top" when not minimized

Hi Highflyer & Tim
Thanks for the tip on 'Always on Top'.
Have got that up and running on 'windowed' FSX but when I switch to 'Full screen' (I have TH2Go setup on three screens) I can't hold the Alt+space. It just flashes up then reverts.
Any ideas please?
