    I would like to have my media player on top of all other windows, without it disappearing when I click on any other window. I would appreciate any help with this. Thanks.

    Go to options and set it to always be on top of other windows? Should be the case with most of players.

    Does it play in your web browser? Coz that's what I'm doing right now. Unless there's something I've overlooked. If there's a direct link, I might try it out first and tell you my finds.

    well, I found out it uses the flash player, but stil cannot find any setting for always on top. I can't give you a direct link because it's through NBA leaguepass broadband, which requires login id, and password.

    Probably uses the move media player, which runs on flash.

    Does it run in a separate browser window/popup? This might work...

    PowerMenu (above) looks like a good option. AlphaXP also offers this, but only in the non-free version. It actually looks extremely similar to what PowerMenu offers, so if that's all you want, I'd try with Nebelwand's suggestion.
