HIDE-IT! v1.1 for Windows 95 (c) 1996 by German Salvador E-Mail: german@bitmailer.net http://www.expocenter.com/hideit HIDE-IT! is Freeware HIDE-IT! is a small applet that allows you to hide windows, taking them out off the screen, off the taskbar and off the ALT-TAB chain. This way you can hide those windows that you want to keep open, but you don't need to monitor very often, e.g. (WFTPD, MS-Exchange, etc.). REQUIREMENTS ============ A computer running Windows 95. USAGE ===== The first time HIDE-IT! runs will open a configuration dialog-box, once configured (see CONFIGURATION below) it will place itself as a small icon in the taskbar. You can access HIDE-IT! window double-clicking that icon. You can also right-click the same icon to show a pop-up menu with the available windows, selecting any of will hide or restore it. INSTALLATION ============ Just copy HIDEIT.EXE to to some directory of your choice and make a shortcut to it in your desktop. CONFIGURATION ============= The configuration dialog-box appears automatically the first time Hide-It runs, but you can also access it double-clicking the small icon and clicking the "Configure" button. Options: * Bypass start-up dialog box: If you don't select this option Hide-it will show it's window on start-up, this option is checked by default. * Hide automatically: This section allows you to customize Hide-it's start-up behaviour. - Previously hidden windows: If you check this, Hide-it wil remember what windows was hidding when it was closed last time, and will hide them again on start-up. - Rules: There are some programs that don't have always the same caption-bar, for example, Exchange. Here you can define what windows you want to hide, even if they have a variable caption. - Time out: Hide-it will stop trying to automatically hide windows after this time-out. UNINSTALLATION ============== Delete HIDEIT.EXE.
