Do you know the situation, when you are in school, and you are playing on your computer, while the teacher teachs, and suddently, the teached desides to see if you are playing computer games, while you are in a middle of a Fifa Match or in a MapleStory Party Quest, where you cant leave?

I know that..., therefore i decided to make this simple Window Hider, so i can hide any running windows, without closing them, and show them again, when the teacher leaves Wink

Instructions:
When you launch the program, it should hide itself as soon as it opens, if it doesent please tell me.
To hide all the running windows, press the left Windows logo on your keyboard and F9, and all windows should be gone. Pressing Left Win Logo + F9 again, should show the windows again.
To close the Window Hider, simply press the Left Win Logo + F10, and all the hidden windows should become visible (if any), and the process should dissapear.

What does this do for your taskbar? Does it show up as clear?

For future reference, Windows Key + D = minimize to desktop.

I made one along time ago and it's super awesome.
But I used this really gay language that I only used once or twice.

When program launches a pop up comes for you to type in a password.
Push ` to hide the window, taskbar and system tray icon.
Push a combination of 5 different keys and type in the password in the pop up to enter a list of all the hidden window's you hid...

Only downside to this is if you clicked your task bar and pushed ` then you need to restart explorer.exe because explorer.exe get's hidden aswell...

I use it for hiding my vidz when not home alone Wink

Can you release the source?

i would guess it's just a case of enumerating windows + getasynckeystate + showwindow(hWnd, SW_HIDE) and storing the handles somewhere else for showwindow(hWnd, SW_SHOW)

yes just checked, as i thought, GetForegroundWindow, GetWindowText, GetAsyncKeyState, ShowWindow, IsWindowVisible, FindWindow, GetWindow
