Hide Windows Reviews



"Thank you so much. I wonder why I lost so much time trying other products. I later on realized that yours is the oldest and the most stable on the market."
Troy L. (Australia)

"The only product that hides tray icons and popup windows. Perfect for me as instant messaging products are banned in our company. It is obvious that you have added such functionality on purpose for cases like mine."
Sarah J. (New York, USA)

"Nothing to add up - all-in-one as it reads! Strong and responsive support."
Dave R. (Southam, UK)

"I used a virtual desktop manager in the past as I had not heard of the term 'boss key'. Indeed virtual desktop managers are nice, but it is a headache every time to move a windows to a different desktop. Now all that is in the past. Anti-Boss Key loads quietly at startup and is ready for action at any point. I do not loose time to rearrange windows on different desktops any more."
William L. (Langley, Canada)

Keyboard layout for hiding windows.

Once the installation is finished the application is ready for use. You can see the default shortcuts at the image on the right. Please remember those or take a not as the next time you restart the application will start absolutely silently without displaying any information in order to provide a higher level of security.

Using the default shortcut Hide/Show Windows - Ctrl+` will hide all windows instantly. Pressing it again will restore everything back to the state before hiding.

We have added a bonus hot-key that will lock desktop and start screensaver - F12

The third important hot-key is the Settings Window shortcut - Ctrl+\. It brings the application settings in order to make changes to your preferences. You can protect this window with a password in order to prevent other persons seeing it by accidentally hitting the combination.
The shortcuts can be customized via the the Advanced Settings->Shortcuts tab. You can also assign a mouse shortcut.

Usually you would not like to hide Explorer and other common windows that may not reveal sensitive information. In order not too look too suspicious you can set those windows not to be hidden when the boss key shortcut is hit. This can be done in the Windows tab. All visible windows are listed on the left. You can drag a window to the "Do not hide list" in order to keep it visible.

Hide Tray Icons option will cover also the tray icons once the boss key is pressed.

In order enable the sound mute option go to Advanced Settings->Sound.

Generally these are the basic settings that will get you started. A detailed description for every option in the application is available via a tool tip and by a context sensitive help pressing the F1 key for the currently active item.

If you still have not place your order please hurry up as our time-limited offer will expire soon. Your payment will be processed via an authorized payment processing service that eliminates the chance of fraud. You can note the security icon in your web browser.
