Yes, IF you have dual monitors.

I meant two monitors but Nepatsfan pointed out an option in Media Player
that forces to stay on top.

The following instructions should work for Windows Media Player 11.

Open Windows Media Player.
Click on Tools on the menu bar.
Note: If you haven't configured WMP to show Classic Menus, you'll have to hold
down the Alt key to access the Tools menu.
In the Tools menu, click on Options.
On the Player page, put a check mark in the box next to "Keep the Player on top
of other windows".
Click OK.

If that isn't the answer you're looking for, you might want to post this
question to the WMP newsgroup.

Good luck

Nepatsfan
