ak47wong,

Thanks for that. Now I can't for the life of me remember how I got to where I got that showed "StayOnTop" as an option with no check box! I now wish I'd taken a screen shot of it.

It's all so obvious now, why was my head so blind before? I'll blame it in my age ;-)

Ha, found it! Look at ...

bbadmin - thanks but...
From the Configure menu choose:

1. Preferences
2. View
3. Uncheck the option to "Stay on top of other windows"
4. Click Apply / OK.

In my menu there is NO check box only the words "StayOnTop" no spaces no check box. If I click on that option then it turns stay on top to ...

Ben, thanks for your response.

When I try to open a file, I know I can select "All Files *.*" but I want that to be the default in that drop down. The present DEFAULT file list is always based on, "Text File *.txt" which, when I'm looking for *.cmd or *.bat, or some other text type file without a ...

I want to see ALL files in the folder when I click on File / Open. At present when I'm in a TXT file it only lists the *.txt files. How do I change this to default to showing all files in the present folder?

Thanks much Ben, I'll have to watch my fat fingers to see if I ever get close to the Alt-key when I'm pressing the space key, then I'll have to see if I'm trying to type a T as well shortly after & it all comes together at the same time.

Not impossible but sure doesn't seem likely either.

Now, I ...

Thanks that fixed it. Need to remember "View" kept looking in Configure.
