Flash Windows Hider 2.51

Flash Windows Hider is a small privacy tool which allows you to keep your screen to yourself without fearing any nosy persons peaking at your work or whatever you wish to keep away from curious eyes.

The program is designed to hide all your open windows at the press of a button. To be more specific, you can set a hotkey you can press to hide away all windows and thus leaving your desktop clean. Anyone looking at your screen won't notice anything in the taskbar either. The open windows can be brought back by pressing the same hotkey or combination of keys.

The program will run in the system tray. As long as it's icon will be visible in the system tray, you can hide yuor windows by double clicking the program icon. You can also render the program invisible by pressing Alt+F11, so no one will notice anything running in the background. There's also the option to set the program to start automatically when Windows starts.

The program interface is divided into two windows. On the left hand side of the window, there's a list of all open windows. By double clicking a window, you will add it to the list of windows to be hidden.

Pluses:

Drawbacks / flaws: You need to keep updating the constantly the list of windows you want to hide.

In conclusion: In my opinion, this program is useful, but too rudimentary.
