Hide My Windows is an effective tool for hiding your windows and applications away from prying eyes.
With a quick keystroke or flick of the mouse, Hide My Windows will ferry away sensitive information from your desktop.
Sure, you can minimize windows, but a quick glance at the system tray would let anyone know that you're playing a game, checking your fantasy league, or watching your retirement portfolio wave bye bye. Hide My Windows leaves no trace of the hidden application whatsoever. Only you know that it's there.
Hide My Windows is created mostly for people working in the office, whose computer activity is usually under strict control.
It hides or closes games, entertainment web pages, private documents and other windows or applications that a user needs to hide. Such a program is of great benefit for office workers, who are very likely to get fired, if caught playing games at their workplaces. Apart from hiding entertainment windows and applications at work, Hide My Windows can be used if a computer is situated in a public place to keep company secrets (for example, at exhibitions).
That might be the major question if you didn't have the Hide My Windows software. Now the only question is what do you want your boss – or a stranger – to see on your screen when they get around.
There is nothing criminal in it, but you typically won't want your boss to see you having your 5-min relax with the newest Flash game or your room-mate see your ICQ dialog with your girl or... Obviously, there are numerous situations when you don't want somebody came from the next room and look at your screen over your shoulder.
If necessary, a user can protect opening of programs and windows with a password.
The unique feature of Hide My Windows is that the password window can be masked, looking like a MS Word or Outlook window and acquiring a correspondent caption, label and icon automatically.
The program can also resist various tracking systems, and automatically replace captions of objectionable applications by neutral ones. Such opportunities make it an ideal tool for keeping some activities private.
