How to Set Reminder Notice to Remain on Top Outlook 2003
Hi,
I've read a few posts about this problem: The reminder notification box pops under or gets covered by other windows, defeating the visual element and purpose of the reminder (yes, the taskbar button is visible, but could be difficult to see depending on the number of windows open, amount of available space on the taskbar, resolution setting, size of screen, and other desktop settings, etc.). This problem has not been adequately addressed in these other posts or the KB, IMHO. Is there a reg hack to set the Reminder Notice to "Remain on Top"? Is there a "nag" function so that the auditory alarm continues to sound until the reminder is dismissed? In mobile PC Outlook? Thank you,

Thank you, Define a rule to display an alert window when a new message arrives. Even if it gets covered, it will still be there until you decide to close it. Then decide if you still want the desktop alert to show up or not in addition to the alert window.

Alternatively, you may try Cute Reminder. It will show you unobtrusive pop-up reminders, which are incredibly easy to set up, delete, and postpone. You can also post sticky notes on your screen. The Pro version can run in the system tray. Nicholas ---------------------- Cute Reminder - your professional reminder solution http://www.CuteReminder.com Galen W.

I paid a brief visit to your site -- Impressive -- and will investigate it more thoroughly. wrote in message ups.com... Alternatively, you may try Cute Reminder.

Galen,
You are welcome to download and try the Cute Reminder software for free. It's quite small (less than 3 MB) and has a built-in Quck start guide, which will explain you the basic concepts just in 1-2 minutes. Thank you for your interest.
