SecretMe
By L-Tech
This application is a container to any program in your computer system to its shell by means of dynamically created tabs. SecretMe can hide instantly the opened programs currently running on its tabs with a set of hot keys (or rather secret keys). The hidden programs do not show their identities on the taskbar or anywhere on your desktop. You select which program to be hidden, and you define your own set of hot keys. When running on its standard interface, it does not consume much resources of your system. It restores hidden applications as quickly as it hides them, and I had tested it on popular applications like Firefox, Opera, IE7, MS Word, Excel, Outlook, and etc. You only need to set up your own hot keys, and that is all you would have to do. There are no meticulous tasks required to use this program.

JumpKeys Pro
By Bruce Graham
A multi-function utility for programmers and power users. JumpKeys Pro uses hot keys for selecting (switching between), minimizing, and maximizing windows (including child windows in MDI applications), making windows Always On Top, storing text in a tabbed clipbook, accelerated text editing and inserting text into virtually any window. JumpKeys Pro gives you instant control over your desktop windows. JumpKeys features include: Quickly tag up to 9 of your most frequently used windows, to be selected using the numbers on the main keyboard. By default, tagged windows can be selected using the Alt key (Alt+1, Alt+2, and so on). The number 0 always selects the window that previously had the focus (Alt+0). If you prefer, you can select tagged windows using the Ctrl key, Shift key, Windows key, or even with the numbers alone. Tagged windows are identified based on full or partial title. Repeating the same window selection hot key (e.g. Alt+1) will cycle through multiple instances of a tagged window. Also, you can assign a hot key to minimize windows, and assign a hot key to alternately maximize/restore the current window. JumpKeys Pro features include: Child window support for selecting, minimizing, and maximizing windows. Store text in a tabbed clipbook, that''s essentially a tabbed notepad with specialized features to make it easy to store text clippings. Quickly insert text into virtually any application or dialog window using ExpressInsert. Perform clipboard intensive operations faster (accelerated text editing) using ExpressEdit. Change case of text to uppercase, lowercase, proper case, or insert the date and/or time into virtually any window.
