How to show windows and programs
Using Hide Any Window you can easily hide open windows and programs in seconds so nobody knows what you have done on your PC but in some situations it is not enough. It looks really strange and even suspicious if e.g. your boss walks in, you press secret anti-boss keys to hide unwanted applications and windows and ... keep sitting in front of an empty desktop.
With Hide Any Window you can easily select to automatically show programs or windows you are supposed to work with when you hide programs and windows you want to keep in secret. The only one thing you should do is to add necessary windows and programs in 'Show list' and they will popup automatically when you hide unwanted windows and programs
