HomepageI suppose that with the advent of internet accessibility we will see a lot
more of this type of software it could be called convenience-ware, what hide-it does is
hide any icons, windows or minimised windows it even removes them from the ALT-TAB chain,
this is ideal if you run programs that don't need monitoring once set, up like clipboard
extension programs, MS-Exchange, CD-players that kind of thing. It is an amazingly stable
program and seems to have covered every eventuality if you double click on a place on the
desktop
where a hidden icon is placed it brings up the Start Menu. It is a surprisingly small
program needing only one executable and an icon in the system tray which you right click
on to configure what to hide.
There are all sorts of desktop managers and virtual desktop programs but I have yet to see
anything as simple, easy to use and above all as free as this program. The only bad points
are that you have to type in the name of the window you want to hide and the icon that it
puts in the system tray a small wall with a nose and fingers poking over it but then
nothing is perfect.
To install this simply copy the executable and the readme if you
want to into a directory put a shortcut to it in the Startup group and configure which
windows and icons you want to hide.
