Pin your first window
1
Make sure PinPoint is running
Look for the PinPoint icon in your Windows system tray — the notification area at the right end of the taskbar. If you see it, PinPoint is running and your hotkey is active.If the icon isn’t visible, check the hidden icons area by clicking the ^ arrow in the taskbar corner. If PinPoint isn’t running at all, launch it from the Start menu.
2
Click a window to give it focus
Click the window you want to keep on top — for example, a calculator, a reference document, or a video player. The window just needs to be in focus (its title bar will be highlighted).
3
Press Alt+P to pin the window
Press Alt+P (your default hotkey). A colored border appears around the window. That border means the window is now pinned to Always-on-Top — it will stay visible above every other window until you unpin it.
4
Press Alt+P again to unpin
Press Alt+P a second time while the pinned window is in focus. The colored border disappears and the window returns to normal stacking order — other windows can now appear in front of it again.
What the border means
The colored border is a visual indicator that a window is pinned. It appears as soon as you pin a window and disappears as soon as you unpin it. You can change the border color and thickness — or turn it off entirely — in Settings > Border.Managing pinned windows from the tray
You don’t need to use the hotkey to unpin windows. Right-click the PinPoint icon in the system tray to see a list of all pinned windows. Click any entry to unpin that window, or choose Unpin All to remove Always-on-Top from every pinned window at once.Next steps
