Mr Hyde v1.0

Posted by on May 17, 2006 | 9 Comments

Don’t you hate it when folks are looking over your shoulder trying to see what it is you are doing? I mean, you aren’t doing anything bad. Some people just like to have some personal space around them that doesn’t get minimized as soon as your boss comes to see what it is you have been doing all day long. That is where Mr Hyde comes in.

Here is what the developer of Mr Hyde has to say about it:

Mr Hyde hides all the specified windows on your Desktop on a user-defined hotkey.

It doesn’t terminate any applications. It just sets the visibility flag of the windows. Therefore, if the hotkey is pressed once again, all returns to the previous state and it is possible to continue seamlessly in work.

Mr Hyde can be started automatically with Windows. No shortcut on your Desktop, no shortcut in the Windows Start Menu, no shortcut in the Startup folder. No icon in the System Tray. Very little footprint in the system. Mr Hyde is discreate.

Want to see what it looks like? Here is a screenshot of the user interface of Mr Hyde.

This simple little program sits on your computer, ready to go at a moment’s notice. All you have to do is hit a few keys and your desktop is cleared. Hit a few more keys and you are back to playing Solitaire. It couldn’t get much better than that.

    Why should we resort to having to snail mail our hard drives to back them up because of the limitations of our ISP?

    I sympathize with this guy and I agree that the Comcast bandwidth limit is completely arbitrary and anti competitive with other media service providers … but this guy loses all geek cred if it didn’t strike him within milliseconds that the bandwidth cap could have been hit by his online backups, Netflix, and Amazon service.

    We all need to lobby against that cap. I’ve almost hit mine this month from just streaming movies online from Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu.

    I also think it’s funny to see a big Carbonite ad on an article complaining about bandwidth caps – lol
