AutoHotkey Community

Hahaha this is so funny. Two years ago I actually wrote a similar script for use at work.

I remember that I used "WinHide" for a few particular programs like Firefox, PSPad and the AutoHotkey helpfile among others

I came to the conclusion that using GroupAdd beforehand and then hiding the group is much faster than using WinHide for each window. After all, you can never be too fast, especially on a slow computer

It now uses the unique Id of a window. This allows "Safe" windows aka windows that wont be hidden. If the whole .2 of a second matters that much then hide by groups. I just like to make it as complex as possible. Why? Because i can.

This post just brought back the memory of me, 2 years ago, trying to hide the "naughty" windows from my narrow-minded boss. AHK was new to me, and I wrote only very simple scripts. Your script looks much better of course.

GroupAdd is faster on very slow/old computers. Mine was 1.7 Ghz / 256 MB ram, with windows XP. Even Notepad needed a few seconds to start...

NEW VERSION! I fixed the bug were some window will hide and some wont come back. Everything revolves around Unique ID. As soon As i finish up the interface ill post it under the original.
