What is window catcher ? What do i need it for?
Window catcher is small program that allows you to hide windows from your boss or your computing teacher, eg an Internet window on a XXX website or all other windows that you want to have quickly out of the way when your boss comes around.
However it's main goal is to fetch windows in order to put them away from the taskbar. When you minimize WindowCatcher it goes into the system tray with an invisible icon, thus making it hard to detect it's presence..

Ok, How do i catch windows into WindowCatcher?
It is quite easy. In the "Windows" menu click on "Catch" or directly click on the  button in the toolbar. Immediately after that right-click + CTRL + SHIFT on the window you wish to catch, and whooomps there it is! You can now continue using a catched window like you would normally use.

How do i release a window?
Again it is quite easy. Go in the "Windows" menu select "Release" or directly click on the  button in the toolbar. Immediately after that right-click on the catched window you wish to release.

How do i release a all windows?
In the "Windows" menu select "Release all" or click on the  in the toolbar.

Is there a way to remove the tray icons that some apps put there?

In the options window, select "Try to remove tray icons". Be aware that from the programmer's view it is quite easy to remove an other application's tray icon, but for now i do not kow how to restore them. Keep in mind that this feature is experimental and still need some improvements. If you find an application which the tray icon can not be removed please let me know!
To show up a window that "minimize to the tray" go to the Window List and double click on it's name in the list.
PS : Thanks to Christopher James for giving me the idea of this feature! ;o)

Help!!! I cought 578 windows how can i locate a precise one?
The "Window List" is the right place to find a catched window. To display the "Window List" in the "View" menu click on "Window list" or click on the  button in the toolbar. Once displayed you can browse through the window list, and by double-clicking on the window of your choice you can bring it to top.

Help!!! I minimized Window Catcher, where is it now??
You have to find it in your system tray! Once you found it DOUBLE RIGHT CLICK on it and it is restored!
