    Is there a program that hides all your windows except for some selected one?

    I know you can assign the corners of the touchpad to minimize them. Oh - the other thing I was going to mention is the exact same thing (was going to link to thinkgeek.com).

    I don't want just minimizing. The stealthswitch hides windows, plus it automatically switches of sound and stuff. So, no such program?

    LOL, I'm guessing this is to quickly hide windows and the like for porn in public places or to hide porn from your parents/wife/kids incase they walk into your room or something? HAHAHA

    If not, sorry, *cough*, umm, I haven't heard of any programs of the like. It's kind of interesting if you ask me, but I wouldn't find a need for this type of program.

    Could you let us know why you want such a program? :D

    Cheers,
    Mike

    Hydravision if you have ATI video, or look for something else that allows multiple desktops. then you can have your "unclean" desktop, and your clean desktop, and switch with a keyboard combination.

    LOL people still contributing to porno hiding intentions.

    Hahahahaha, awesome, just awesome I tell you. So serious about all this hiding of windows for porno. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

    Glad you found one Cwar, too bad it's not free.

    Remember you could always ask flaxx on the site here to make one for you if he's willing to take on another programming project. :D
