HideWin

2006-08-26T16:00:00.000-07:00

HideWin is a small Windows program designed to hide windows from view. It is particularly useful for removing the message banners/advertisements/popup windows placed on screen by numerous ISPs and web sites, but can be used to hide any windows created by any program.

Unlike other programs that "kill" these windows, HideWin simply hides them from view. Sometimes, killing a window can be counterproductive. For example, some ISPs will terminate an internet connection if a message bar window is closed. HideWin solves this problem by simply hiding, and not closing, any windows you specify.
