Is there a way, in Windows XP, to keep the calculator on the screen until it's closed? This way I could read the result & not have to trust my memory.

697177 2008-08-14 06:34:00 There are several alternative calculators available for the windows desktop.Try a search of Google kjaada (253)
697178 2008-08-14 06:45:00 You could:

- "Tile Windows" either horizontally or vertically (right click task bar, choose tile windows, you can undo the tile also), then you can see calc.exe and your program of choice (albeit it squashed up)

- if you have dual monitors put calc.exe on the other monitor

- probably best though to just download an alternate calc program that has the "always on top" functionality

697179 2008-08-14 06:49:00 Have a look at This here (www.absoluteway.com) Just downloaded and tried it, and seems to work OK. It adds another set of options to every window, not just the Calculator, so you can keep any app/window on top. wainuitech (129)
