You know that your boss doesn't like you to browse the Internet at work and he is always doing innocent drop by at your cubicle to check on you. You know that the snoopy HR chick which looks absolutely gorgeous other than being a total biatch enforcing company IT policies. You know the almost non existence IT security auditor who constantly hovers in his cloak of invisibility nearby watching every one of your actions. ITS DAMN ANNOYING. So now the question is, how many times have you been caught by these people pants down, hands down?
You know you want to surf porn at home but your kiddies mustn't see it. You know you have a secret bank account online that you want to hide from your spouse. You know you want to keep you online affair away from your spouse. You know you want to make sure your parents do not know you are learning how to make bombs from the Internet. But these people seems to inadvertently just walk onto you doing the things you want to hide from them. Again the same question, how many times have you been caught by these people pants, hands down?
I have a almost perfect solution for you, if you are still using Windows XP that is. I have not tested this on Windows Vista yet and it definitely doesn't work with Linux/Unix based operating systems. To ensure you don't accidentally download a file that may contain a virus, you can download this one from my site or its original site where I got it from.
BOSS! (alternative download link from the original site)
The following is a copy and paste from the original website telling you what exactly the BOSS! application does :D You will definitely fall in love with it as I have in the past on my previous job.
You never surf the Internet at work? Right. Like, who isn't surfing the want-ads while scrunched inside their cubicle, trying to find a job that offers... a slightly larger cubicle? Perhaps you're just playing a game of Tetris, or bending paper clips into the shape of small animals (maybe you could get on David Letterman). Choose your excuse; Boss! makes sure you never have to explain sticky situations to your supervisors. This mischievous gizmo lets you hide all open windows with a SINGLE (1) (defined) keystroke, then reopen them when the coast is clear. As long as you get your work done, it'll be okay. Right? Everybody moves at their own pace, even those in accounting. And we'll even count those who can't count well.
Windows can be hidden by the window title or class name. Multiple windows of the same type can be hidden by specifying the class name. For e.g. all Internet Explorer Windows can be hidden by specifying "IEFrame". Boss! also includes a Window Information tool that can be used to get the "Window Class" and "Window Title" of any window.
Anyways, less talk, Windows XP users go download it and test it out and start falling in love with it. No longer get caught with your pants down and your hands also down there doing something naughty :P
