Disable " Stay on top" features on photoshop CS2

Photoshop CS2 always stay on top, even when I click another app from the windows taskbar (right of the start button). It's completly annoying me. Always need minimized, click the other app, reclick again on photoshop, re-reminimized.

I only have 1 screen at work so I can't let photoshop on one screen and work with the other app on the other screen.

I look in all photoshop menu, find nothing

I googled the problem, and find a adobe page explain this problem is a "feature".

I only want photoshop cs2 work all other app on windows and loose focus, let new app appear on top.

Thank you.

How do I get rid of floating windows in Photoshop?

The Enable Floating Document Window Docking option is enabled (checked) by default. If you decide you don't like this feature, you can easily turn it off by unchecking the option in Photoshop's Preferences.

Why does Photoshop take up so much memory?

The greater the image resolution, the more memory and disk space Photoshop requires to display, process, and print an image. Depending on your final output, higher image resolution does not necessarily provide higher final image quality, but it can slow performance, use additional scratch disk space, and slow printing.

I literally JUST found this on accident and fixed it after having issues with all my toolbars being hidden behind stuff, and not being able to minimize without clicking on the PS window first etc. Seems to have worked!

I found that if you open up "edit > preferences > Memory & Image Cache" and set your memory usage up then it will fix it. I am on a Windows 10.
