Magic Boss Key Editor's Review

Magic Boss Key is a very easy to use and at the same time useful application. This free privacy tool can be very useful when it comes to hiding your screen from curious persons who'd like to have peek at your work.

The program is easy to install, configure and use: after installation, when you first run the program, you need to select your privacy options. First, you can choose whether to use the keyboard or the mouse to hide open windows. When the default setting are set, the program will hide open browsers, folders and applications. Then, you can choose to hide also all the icons on your Desktop as well as the Taskbar. You can mute the sounds when all windows are hidden.

The default hotkey is 'F12', or, for a quicker action, you can simultaneously click the right and left mouse buttons. Once the hotkey has been hit, all open windows will disappear from the desktop and from your Taskbar. In order to bring back the open windows, you need to hit the hotkey again.
