“Always stay on top” for WScript.Shell.Popup

WScript.Shell.Popup has an undocumented value for the nType parameter which causes the resulting dialogs/popups to “stay on top” / in foreground, meaning that they cannot be hidden by other windows or dialogs: 4096.

JScript example:

WScript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”).Popup(“Message”, 0, “Title”, 4096);

VBScript example:

WScript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”).Popup “Message”, 0, “Title”, 4096
