In Windows the task bar contains the name of all the applications we have opened currently. So that we can easily navigate through the opened applications when needed. Though it is very useful to show the opened application in the taskbar, but sometime it hampers our privacy. When we open a confidential file in the office or a personal file in a public place, this feature defiantly irritates us. In windows there is an option to hide the taskbar, but all the user may not like to hide the taskbar while working. I personally hate to hide the taskbar while working in my computer. If we hide the taskbar all the opened apps become invisible, when we want to hide a particular application or applications.
So, here is a small and free tool for Windows users to hide particular apps from the taskbar. WinVisible is an easy to use application that can hide currently opened programs from the task bar. It allows you to assign hotkeys to make any program invisible and visible in the task bar. It is also able to kill any process which is currently running in the system.
When you open the you can see a list of applications currently running in your computer. You can select one or more process from the list that you want to hide or kill. You can assign different hotkeys to hide and unhide any process. You can even assign hotkeys to hide the tool itself.
Features of WinVisible
- Hide applications with a hotkey
- Easy to use and install
- Show applications with a separate hotkey

- WinVisible can hide itself when you press the hide hotkey.
After installing the apps, open it and configure it according to your need. Before killing any apps make sure that you have saved the changes which you have made in the apps. If you kill any unsaved apps then you may lose your unsaved work. To run WinVisible in your computer you need the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0. Download from the following link.
