Make the reminder stay on top of other items

U

usatraveler

Is there a way to get the reminder to stay on top of other programs that you
are working with. I have had times where I am working with Excel and a
reminder comes up but I do not see it because it is behind the spreadsheet.
It might have popped up for a second but if I am actively working in Excel it
will be my primary program and the reminder will fall behind Excel.

There is a tool called nail.exe that you can use to keep windows on top -
but it needs enabled before the reminder comes up.
I have a link here: http://www.outlook-tips.net/p/programs.htm

When I do a search on nail.exe I found out that it is Spyware and can cause a
lot of headaches.
