This application quickly hides windows, applications, and even your desktop, though you'll need to have Windows .NET Framework 2 for it to work. Curtain is a no-install program. Just run the executable file and you'll find an icon in your system tray. A right-click menu offers one way to hide windows and applications, and you can also turn off the monitor and initiate the screensaver. Choose Customize Hotkeys to view or modify hot keys for a host of actions, including applying transparency or hiding or showing windows. In our testing, the hot-key options were the quickest method, but Curtain worked quickly and effectively using the system-tray icon as well. Privacy-conscious users will appreciate what this easy-to-use and effective freeware application has to offer.

Pros
Has an option to mute your speaker's volume when hiding all. <p>Hotkeys are great.
Cons
Takes up more CPU than Panic Station. <p>When you restore all windows, they all open, even if they were minimized in the taskbar prior to hiding all.

Pros
I have always wondered why there wasn't some type of utility out there to hide your desktop with one click... (double click) in this case. I will definitely put this app to good use at work! For those nosey bosses that try to sneak up on ya!
Cons
I'm just now finding such an app!
