Re: MM5 always on top
Yes, it does generate a UAC confirmation prompt.
I will temporarily disable that globally first, and if that works, I can configure Windows to skip the UAC just for MM5.
I already have UAC disabled for MM4 on the same PC (not because of the always on top issue).
I will test this today and let you know how it works

Re: MM5 always on top
Disabling UAC made no difference. MM5 still camps out on top, hogging focus. No access to taskbar unless I Alt-Tab out of the program or press the Windows key.
Re: MM5 always on top
Is instead maybe the problem that MediaMonkey covers the Windows Taskbar when it's set to auto-hide?

Re: MM5 always on top
That is an accurate description. MM5 does cover the taskbar when in auto-hide mode.
If the taskbar is set to auto-hide (my normal setting), for any other app, moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen shows the taskbar.
When MM5 is the active window, that does not happen.

Auto-hidden windows toolbar
I am sure I mentioned this in a previous post some time back, and I believe it was acknowledged at the time, but for some reason I can't find the posts, and it is still happening in RC1
When my auto-hidden windows toolbar is covered by full-screen MM5, it will not display (pop up) when the cursor is moved over top of it. Mine happens to be top-of-screen, but bottom does not appear either.
This always worked correctly in MM4
