    I was wondering lets say I have a movie playing on Windows Media player and I want to surf the web at the same time, is is possible to have that media player windows always on the top without me having to click it everytime when i open a new page? Like i want it to alllways be on the bottom left part of my screen or top left...

    Actually, there is a way. Go to the Windows Media Player options and check " Keep the Player on top of other Windows" then click Apply.

    Hope that answers your question.

    technically, it's the scale icon ;)

    the green icon indicates if the user is online or offline (in which case it's grey i believe).
