Helge Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I haven't tested it, but you could try and make a script that do the following :Send ALT+TABReceive the active titleHide the active titleKeep doing the three first points until the active title is either empty or the desktop ("Program Manager")It sounds like it could work, but as I said it's untested.I can give you a example code of how to do it, when I get enough time for it..Good luck !

brett Posted April 27, 2004 Author Share Posted April 27, 2004 i tried that but it also closes the taskbar at the bottom -Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scriptkitty Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 the taskbar usually has a blank title, and has the time as the text, so you can rename that window, and restore it. I tried to find my joke one that would hide each window, and then wait til you hit a key to restore them all back, but I may have deleted it. AutoIt3, the MACGYVER Pocket Knife for computers.

brett Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 how would i make the program hide (not just minimize) all the windows but then put the names of the windows the program has hidden in a list somehow, so that i can make them all come back? -Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
