  • 1.32

DeskPins 1.32, developed by Elias Fotinis, is a lightweight Windows utility designed to keep any application window in the foreground regardless of other activity on the desktop. By clicking the system-tray icon and dragging the emerging pin cursor onto a target window, users instantly assign that window the “topmost” attribute, ensuring it remains visible above all others until the pin is removed with a second click. The single-version program (1.32) requires no installation beyond extracting its tiny executable, making it ideal for portable use or quick deployment on shared machines. Typical use cases include pinning a reference document while coding, keeping a media player controls panel in view during full-screen work, monitoring a live chat or telemetry dashboard, or suspending a calculator or note window above a busy spreadsheet session. Because the operation modifies only the window’s z-order and consumes negligible CPU and RAM, DeskPins is frequently recommended for stock traders, streamers, translators, and anyone who routinely juggles multiple windows yet needs one source of information constantly visible. The utility runs on every Windows edition from XP through Windows 11 and coexists peacefully with other desktop-enhancement tools, offering a silent, unobtrusive alternative to heavier window-manager suites. DeskPins is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
