HideWin is a tiny program that allows you to hide windows from view. It is useful for removing the message banners/advertisements/popup windows placed on screen by numerous ISPs and web sites, but can be used to hide any windows created by any program. Unlike other programs that "kill" these windows, HideWin simply hides them from view. Sometimes, killing a window can be counterproductive. For example, some ISPs will terminate your internet connection if a message bar window is closed. HideWin solves this problem by simply hiding, and not closing, any window that you specify.

This program works better than i had expected. I was hiding a keylogger (heh) and all keystrokes were still logged perfectly.
One thing which can be done is minimalism. I find the extra controls a little distracting.
