Window Hidie

When you work in an area frequently visited by others and you don't want them to see everything you're working on, this neat little application will hide items onscreen by just pressing a key combination.

Window Hidie launches a tabbed pane with a list of open and running items. The interface is purely functional and easy to understand. In our tests, we were able to use either the interface or a key combo to hide or show the current window. We liked that not only did the current window disappear from the screen, but also its icon in the Windows task bar also disappeared. Both the window and the icon reappeared when we pressed the appropriate key combination.

Window Hidie performed its tasks quickly in response to our actions. We liked how easy it is to use, and that it hid items so thoroughly. This free app doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it does its job quickly and simply and well.
