There is a software that I need to use but there is no stealth feature on it. I can set it to autorun whenever Windows is booted up but there is no way to hide it from appearing in taskbar or traybar. I can either request the author of the program to come up with a stealth feature which might take months to implement, or look for a similar software but with stealth feature. There is actually another way which is to use a program to stealth or hide the software. It is commonly known as anti boss key or windows hider software. Originally anti boss key software is used to hide games or any programs that are not allowed in office by simply pressing a configured hot key. Some anti boss key software has extra features which is to hide a program whenever it’s being launched and also the ability to hide itself!

So even if you have a software that don’t have the ability to hide or stealth, you can still prevent it from showing.


There are many many freeware and shareware to hide windows but I’ll just name my favorites. I am unable to find any freeware that can hide itself. Only shareware can do that. If you know any, please do share it with me.

1. OuttaSight

- OuttaSight is a FREE Windows desktop utility for Windows that hides application windows in a variety of convenient ways. OuttaSight can be used to hide windows that aren’t used often, e.g. e-mail programs, so that they don’t clutter the desktop or taskbar. OuttaSight can also be used as a boss key to quickly hide windows you don’t want passing eyes to see. OuttaSight is simply the best software of its kind. OuttaSight has an attractive well-designed user-interface, is feature-rich, and conforms to Windows standards so it’s intuitive and easy-to-use.

What I like about OuttaSight is I can configure password to access OuttaSight, ability to set hotkey, hide taskbar, system tray, start button and desktop icons and can auto hide windows from appearing when being run. Too bad OuttaSight is unable to hide itself.

2. HyperHide

- HyperHide allows you to take control of your desktop by making any window instantly hidden or visible with the press of a key. Hide programs like Internet Explorer, Excel, Word, Windows Media Player and virtually any other program. Then with the press of a key make any window reappear right where you left it. HyperHide acts as a computer privacy shield. You control what others can see on your computer monitor.

HyperHide can do whatever OuttaSight does and it can hide itself. Unfortunately HyperHide is shareware which cost $9.99. I found HyperHide serial number (HyperHide.v1.3.10-TBE) but it can’t be used on the latest version 1.3.11. If you look harder, you can still find the older version v1.3.10 on some FTP.
