Several basic options when working with windows in a Microsoft operating system are missing. There is no way to make a window always on top, no way to minimize a window to the system tray (unless support by the application) and no way to set the transparency level of an open window in Windows. The latter has been introduced in Windows Vista but previous releases of Windows do not support that feature at all.
It is however almost certain that software developers have created an application with the exact functionality needed. In this case Power Menu was developed which is a lightweight software program that adds the option to minimize a window, to make a windows always on top and to set the transparency level of each window individually.
Power Menu adds the three options to the right-click menu when clicking window titles. This is working when the window is visible on the screen but also when it is minimized in the task bar.
Power Menu can be run on all 32-bit editions of Windows from Windows 9x to Windows Vista.

I don’t get why programs like this don’t also have a always on bottom option. That’s a feature I’ve been wanting in windows for a while.
I just wish I could find something like this for Blackbox.
One more feature I already have in Windows PowerPro :)
perfect !
Great little tool! Unfortunately it does not seem to work with my cmd-box in Vista Business. Please proof me wrong, since I would love to find that functionality :-)
