Not supposed to be on msn?

Download msn plus off https://www.msgplus.net then whenever someone walk up on you press ctrl and space and it will hide all the windows and the little icon in the tray bar (near the clock) but it will still keep it running so you will still be online but you wont be able to see it on the computer until you clik back onto the little grey diamond and presto its BACK!!

Why not just press the Windows Icon and D, that closes all windows to the desktop.

Its an alternative.

......... but that closes the windows so you lose all your previous converstions this way you still keep them but they are hide when you press ctrl and space

The windows key and M will minimise as many windows/programs you have open down to the taskbar and still keep them open. You don't need any downloads for this.

akamini

it doesnt just minimise it it removes it from the taskbar, but when you click the grey icon which has replaced the little green man in the tray icon they reappear. :S:S

msn plus has some spyware in i think, i remember getting some and also hearing about it on here

akamini

if you click no to install sponsor then you dont get any spyware, it even tell you itself on its website click no to install sponsor.

Or you could install virtual desktops, and have a completely sep desktop for "work" "play" "games" etc. That what I do, its installed on linux by default, I believe microsoft offers a very poor version of it (probably going to be touted in vista) for XP, but programs are available at download.com if you search for "virtual windows".

I know you can hide everything in each virtual window from another, including taskbar entries.

I would not install this, how can you trust a software supplier that originally hid the fact that they were bundling Spyware with their product ??

this is what it bundles

Lop.com has become one of the most hated names on the internet. All over cyberspace, from message boards to newsgroups to IRC chat rooms I've seen people begging for help in getting rid of this annoying software.
What is lop.com? Lop.com is a web site owned by C2 Media. It is mainly a pay-per-click search portal where other web sites pay for each click-through to their site via lop. This isn't a terrible idea, but rather than create a quality web site to get surfers to their site and clicking those links, they instead created a program which is labeled variously as an mp3 search program, a !!!!!! search program, or some other such thing. The installer turns the user's web browser into a device with a seemingly endless supply of links to lop.com.

Not completely correct. The installer turns Internet Explorer into a device with a seeminly endless supply of links to lop.com....If you dont run that then you wont be affected.
