Is there a program

[RichardE]

That you could click an icon and it would auto-close certain windows? Like, you could decide what windows it closes? So if you click one button, a buncha windows would close right away. 🙂

You mean like "show desktop" but with only certain windows?

I have my MX1000 set up to do that. I just assigned the middle button in between the back and forward buttons to close any program that Windows is focused on.

Yeah. 🙂

It would have to be more than 1, more like 7.

Get a G-15 keyboard and make a macro that does the show desktop thing.

Google "taskkill" and "batch file".

What'd be perfect for you is this thing that switches between desktops with only using your foot, so if the boss comes, just press down with your foot and everything switches
I can't find the dreaded link, though, sorry
I'll keep looking :beer:



PS: HI RICHARD'S BOSS!!!

It's simple. Auto-hide your taskbar so all your windows aren't showing. When someone comes by, hit Windows+D.

1. open a couple of your "work" windows.
2. take screenshot of desktop
3. set that screenshot as wallpaper
4. nef
5. winkey+D, or hit 'show desktop' icon when authority walks by.
6. stare at screen with agitated look. don't look away.
