the best hiding progamme i have ever came acrossed.. good work

Outstanding program - very lucky it's freeware. Use it daily to help keep my desk clean. The click-to-hide feature lets me push to the side everything I need moved out of view.

One odd note: the program won't hide Mozilla SeaMonkey when you hold the hot key and click the top bar: you have to click IN the window. Also, it won't hide YoutubeDownloaderHD at all. Other than those two programs, it seems uniform when hiding all other windows.

1. Freaked out, no - annoyed yes. Who says the latest version will be better - the user should have the option to autoupdate or not. This could be a deal breaker for many users.

2. Seriously, your app, what else! Every other app in the tray when double clicked will open up - yours should also. Instead, you have to right click then scroll to the Show/Hide option - too many steps for a simple function - again, annoying.

5.
...add 'autoupdate' to Options: as a checkbox.
...add ability to left click to Show/Hide app from tray.
...fix XP tray icon bug.
...add a 'Help' menu item that opens the help file located in the local folder. A link to the support forums could also be added as a menu item within the app.
...provide a 'changelog' - updates, new fetures, known bugs etc.

i spent 5min trying to find the "real download link". sorry couldn't download it.

v1.2 was an improvement for sure (don't know about 1.3) but this app still needs work in my opinion. The information comes by way of dialog boxes and I think I clicked 12, maybe 15 times to get the tool's details - wouldn't a .pdf file be much easier.

It is freeware, worth the effort, but as has been mentioned, even getting details on the website is a wild-goose-chase.

Follow the link above and look for the aqua colored "Download" button, about half-way down the page.

Btw, I believe the file is a single *.exe - 'system_silencer.exe' - when you run the file, settings are saved to a *.cfg file in the same directory.

@anoncow: yes, both write to the registry. Seconfig is a bit more strict in some areas, while xp-Antispy has a little more flexibility in its controls.

Well this programs JOB is to write to the registry. ;) So we shouldn't worry too much about that eh?

The problem with the internet is that, even when you spell out and try to avoid something, that something happens anyway.
Notice "which is fine in their case"!
And about the JOB, the beggining of that sentence:
"Don't they both need to write to the registry TO DO THEIR THING"

The question is what's the difference between the two.

@Revelation777: Until it is fixed - the link to Mr.Tamaru's translated page works via www.archive.org

Discovered this following __philippe's recommendation; the download link from webpage seems to be working now. This tiny app absolutely rocks -- I just wish that background color was user customizable...

Just as information:
When I run this program, it wanted to create a executable file in windows\system32 folder which I blocked.

An excellent and important utility! Using a different (local) text handler for each and every time we input text is a cognetics nightmare which TEA solves quite neatly within our present architecture.
Note: This utility uses the clipboard to move the completed file back to the original location. Anything already on the clipboard is lost in the process.

This is a great program. When I was using multiple editors to get the best of each (NotePad++, LibreOffice, and Dreamweaver), I used this frequently. Also works well with gpg4usb.

It works well as long as you stick to editing your text and refrain from switching to various other apps - to research something for your text etc.

It seems to rely on Alt-Tabbing back to the previously used window to transport your edited text back to where it belongs. This will only work if you had not switched to other programs in the meantime.

Although it looks somewhat dated it works well. Unlike many tools of this type, file paths can be passed through the command line and through other apps. I have this setup as a tool in FreeCommander to empty directories quickly and easily. Be careful with the computer icon. It's meant for deleting an edited folder list. If it's clicked after scanning, even with the test only boxed checked, it will immediately delete every folder listed!

I actually have got an incredible amount of use out of this program. One would think you would run it once and never need it again, but when you are trying to organize huge amounts of data this utility becomes very useful.

Comment above is in relation to its portability. The application functions perfect for its purpose...

1.3.9 beta from August 2017 available

@billon: awesome news, this program only comes up once in a while but it's a huge help. I was wondering if it worked with newer web linking methods.

Works just as it should. Additionally, the website has a screensaver version that also works beautifully. Great power-saver.

Cool program, ugly though. In case you haven't figured out (it took me a while), the textured bar to the left of the text area is what you grab to move the window.

Every other device (Android, iOS, Mac, etc.) that doesn't have this format calculator just drives me crazy. Writing out the whole problem before calculating is so much better than a single window, single-output view.

ESBCalc (free portable persion) is a good free alternative in my opinion.
