Boss! You never surf the Internet at work? Right. Like, who isn't surfing the want-ads while scrunched inside their cubicle, trying to find a job that offers... a slightly larger cubicle? Perhaps you're just playing a game of Tetris, or bending paper clips into the shape of small animals (maybe you could get on David Letterman). Choose your excuse;

Boss! makes sure you never have to explain sticky situations to your supervisors.

This mischievous gizmo lets you hide all open windows with a single (defined) keystroke, then reopen them when the coast is clear.

As long as you get your work done, it'll be okay. Right? Everybody moves at their own pace, even those in accounting. And we'll even count those who can't count well.

Windows can be hidden by the window title or class name. Multiple windows of the same type can be hidden by specifying the class name. For e.g. all Internet Explorer Windows can be hidden by specifying "IEFrame".

I created 8start Launcher because I believe there should be a convenient way to access applications other than using windows start menu, quick launch and desktop.

Windows desktop looked messy if too many shortcuts were in the desktop, windows start menu become hard to access if too many applications were installed in the computer, windows quick launch was not suitable to handle too many shortcuts.

Now, your desktop wallpaper will never be blocked by the icons, you will never have to search program shortcuts in start menu.

You can divide different programs into categories and groups, and access it by a single click.

I put a lot of effort into creating 8start Launcher, including the skinable design and shortcuts grouping interface.

After using this application I am so used to it that I can't manage to work on computers where it isn't installed.

I am now publish this software, hope that it can be a help for you to also. You are free to download and distribute the software. This software is freeware!
