Clicky Gone allows you to hide your selected windows from view, this includes the taskbar button associated with the application. This utility particularly helps with protecting your privacy by hiding things like your browser with banking details up and someone walks in on you.
There is no need to close your applications if they are taking up to much space on your desktop or taskbar. Each window you hide can optionally be placed as a small icon in the system tray for easy recovery.
This very small application can also reduce the load on your computer by running hidden applications in the background so that they do not interfere with the visible ones. You can also manage an applications priority manually by using its system menu, this menu can be found by right clicking on the title bar or the taskbar button.

Clicky Gone is the best! Besides having a portable version, it was the only one that managed to recover the programs from the system tray after I ended the program using the task manager (kill the task). This is extremely important because we can leave some programs for hours or days while we use our computer on a daily basis so sooner or later we may have a problem with windows and end up having some crashes in the programs. All other programs that I tested after closing "simulating an error in windows" were unable to recover the windows. All the minimized programs still existed and were running, but are now inaccessible. DANGEROUS!

Wonderful if you need to take a screenshot, stream something, share your desktop or remote control your device but you are unwilling to share all of your computer life with other people too.
