Flash Windows Hider is a useful privacy tool designed to help you hide your open windows within a blink of eye. Flash Windows Hider allows you quickly to hide and unhide your private windows, folder, programs or group of them by pressing single hotkey or mouse click. Flash Windows Hider will be very helpful in protecting your privacy and help to keep your work, play or private information from curious eyes, for example, boss, wife, children, and competitors. You can hide your Internet Explorer or another Internet browser, ICQ, AIM, Word, Excel, movies, games, e-mail, photos as you previously set in this program.

The user interface of this program is simple and the options are easy to any user. On the left hand side of the program screen, there's a list of all the open windows on your desktop. Double clicking an item will move that window to a custom list of windows to be hidden.

Now, the simplicity of this program makes it both easy to use and very effective. You can set one hotkey, which, once pressed, will hide all the windows you've previously selected. The selected windows will disappear from the Taskbar as well, so no one will know what you are working on.

When operating, the program can also be rendered invisible by toggling a hotkey of your choice. You can set the program to start when Windows starts, in order to be operational as soon as you start working.

ClipMate enhances the Windows clipboard, making it a true power tool. The cut/copy paste capability of Windows works well for transferring single items of data, but is not useful if you want to move a lot of data or keep data longer than until your next cut or copy (at which time Windows overwrites the clipboard whether you were ready or not!). ClipMate works alongside the regular Windows clipboard and remembers every piece of data (both text and graphics) that you cut or copy. Once your data is in ClipMate, you can select an item and it is automatically placed back on the clipboard or directly into the application you were using. You can view, print, edit, reformat, convert to upper/lower case, search, rename, and reorder clip items. There is even a built-in spellchecker. You can create an unlimited number of collections to store your data, and you have full control over the retention rules so that your collections will fit your own work process. For example, you can use a "InBox" collection as a catch-all, and create "Safe" collections for topics like Tips n Tricks, Frequently Used Letter Closings, Clip Art, Hot Internet URLS, Project Research, or whatever you wish. ClipMate's exclusive PowerPaste allows you to rapidly paste large amounts of data with ease. New to version 7: Universal QuickPaste lets you paste any clip by double-clicking. Drag and Drop clips right into other programs. Dual-Monitor screen capture, and the new "ClipBar" places your favorite ClipMate features right into the windows taskbar.With ClipMate as your Windows companion, you will take the familiar underpowered clipboard and turn it into an unexpectedly powerful timesaver.
