What is Hide my Windows?

HMW is a free program to hide away the Windows on your desktop. With HMW you can set any program Window as hidden, while the program itself will run silently in the background. Additionally all the Hotkeys used can be customized to your needs.

With HMW you can improve your “Visual Privacy”. No-one looking at your desktop will see instantly what programs you’re running anymore.
You can hide away programs which have long processing runs, cluttering your desktop and impairing the overall usability.
HMW is fully portable, the settings are stored in a “hmw.ini” file created in the program’s directory.

It is directly inspired by this program and has similar functionality. It aims to provide a good alternative for linux (and potentially other unix users)
