To all people who said they can program this type of application themselves quick and easy, blah blah blah

They don’t know what the heck they are talking about.

I am in the programming business for 20 years, and I have to say HWP is not an easy application that anyone with little knowledge of VB or Delphi could do in a year, never mind 5 minutes.

#22 and #108; You are referring me to a review that refers twice to “hided”. LOL. Yeah, I bet I couldn’t do have the stuff you do, but then again I don’t play with myself!

#109, easy…
1: I always have a simple rule, you can use my computer when I am not around, but never ever shut down my comp. 99% of the time my computer is doing something when I am not around, downloading, converting movies, defrag my hard drive and etc etc. People can easily remember not to shut down a comp, but sometimes it is hard or easy to forget not to close specific programs.
2: First they have to know if you indeed using a windows hide program. Secondly, they have to know which program it is. Thirdly, they have to guess your key combination. Not that easy.
3: Some people have, what I call insecurity issue. They have to know every little thing you are doing. Do you want to share your family issue with your girl friend? Do you want to tell every single problem you have in the office with your wive? Creating additional log in profile and locking the computer ALWAYS trigger their insecurity ego right away.

“Hey /your name here/, why do you have to lock this comp , why I have to use a different profile, what are you hiding from me, are you having an affair????!!!” which I can say far to common….

All I am saying is the program is great when you share your comp with a regular user, who just use the comp to browse the internet, email and listening to music (like your spouse or girlfriend). You do not want to use this program and share your comp with someone who has an IT background and their stuffs.

#106, all your reasons are prefectly valid if unorthodox, especially loaning your live machine with you logged in and part way through something to a third party friend. This program is not suited to that since the only security offered is security through obscurity, which any compitent security specialist will advise you, is no security at all.

Two problems with your scenario:
1: If you hide all your active windows, the friend has no indication that you are in the middle of something and may decide they wish a little privacy over what they were doing and logout or shut down or restart your workstation or shut down your laptop(to save batteries).

2: the hotkeys that hide and reveal individual processes or groups are not password protected so nothing is really concealed or protected if the friend knows of the programs existance or stumbles upon the right hotkey and all is revealed.

Shutdown, logout etc would have to be password protected as would the ability to unhide windows.

You should simply switch users if your version of windows supports it, leave yourself logged in with programs running and log the friend into a guest or restricted user account. If they inadvertantly go to shut down the system in any way, windows will warn that other users are logged in with programs running and demand confirmation before shutting down. Of course this is presuming that you do password protect your login so the guest on the system cannot blunder into your login with raised rights.

Its function may be useful for someone and sometimes, but this software is NOT good for use!

Programs are hided, yes, but how to recover them? I tried and tried and then I can find ways to recover the hided programs.

So this software must be improved signicantly on easily receove programs, otherwise I dislike it.

You guys are absolutely hilarious. This program is so usefull in many level, especially if you share your computer. And for once if you ever let a child to install anything in your computer without an admin access then you are the one who should get the blame.

Why the program is so usefull???
1. You can hide things so people wont shut down that program. If you live with somebody else that sometimes need to use your computer for an hour or so, this program is so useful to keep them from closing your program accidentally. How many times you lend someone your computer and you lose things you are working on. I sometimes open more than 10 windows to do my work, it is very annoying to open those 10 windoes again if someone accidentally close it.
2. I vote for liberal, and nobody else need to know about it.
3. I am having a private converstion that I prefer none else know about it, beside the person I am talking too. And no, not all private conversation is about sex.

My point being, there is some stuffs that you want to keep to yourself and there is NOTHING wrong about it!!!

So, you program in VB6? How nice. Try something a little stronger, like .NET. And quit bragging about you making some simple little program. I guarantee that your piece of shit program is nothing like todays giveaway. Maybe your friends didn’t use it because it sucks….like you!
