Hide Window FKEY allows you to quickly ÒhideÓ any window from view, without closing it or removing it from memory. This allows you to see, and access, any windows underneath it without having to go through the pain of closing the window and re-opening it.
Unlike System 7Õs ÒHide ApplicationÓ command, Hide Window FKEY only hides the active window, leaving the rest of the applicationÕs windows open and ready for view.

After it is installed, Hide Window FKEY is easy to use. Simply type Command-Shift-7, and the active window will disappear from view. YouÕll notice, however, that all other windows on the screen remain inactive. You canÕt see the window you just hid, but it is still at the ÒfrontÓ of the screen. To bring the window back, type Command-Shift-7 again.
Try an experiment. Go into the Finder, and open a driveÕs window. Then open one of that driveÕs folders, and then open a folder inside that folder. Do a Command-Shift-7. Now click in the other folderÕs window, to make it active. Do something in that window, and then close it. YouÕll now have your ÒhiddenÓ window at the ÒfrontÓ again, even though you canÕt see it. Type Command-Shift-7 again to see the window.

To install Hide Window FKEY, simply run the ÒInstall Hide WindowÓ application. It will display no windows or menus; it will just run a few seconds, installing the FKEY resource in the current system file.

NOTE: If any virus checking programs tell you that the Install Hide Window application is attempting to modify the System file, do not be alarmed. FKEYs are miniature programs that must be placed in the System file to run.


Hide Window FKEY is shareware. Hide Window FKEY is not distributed as Òcrippled.Ó It does not continually display annoying dialog boxes with my address. And it does not guilt-trip you with quotations from the Bible about ill-gotten goods or ask you to send me a postcard (I hate those.) But it is shareware.
You may use Hide Window FKEY for a period of two weeks, during which time you should decide whether or not it is useful. If you find that it isnÕt all that useful, delete it and I wonÕt mind. If you do like it, however, please send $5 to:

If you donÕt, nothing bad will happen to you, but gee, I sure would appreciate it. Fair enough?
