Quickly Hide Your Web Surfing From The Boss!
What would you do if someone barges into your workspace when you are in the middle of doing ‘important things’ on the Net? :)
Would you just have to live with the embarrassment?
Luckily,some smart people discovered quite a few ways of getting yourself out of that nasty predicament:
1. Hide Window Hotkey

4. Make use of what you have:
(1) First off, set up your desktop the way it would be when you’re actually working on something. Take a screenshot of the screen using the ‘PrtScn’ button located at the top right of most keyboards.
(2) Open up MS Paint and paste the screenshot. Then save it to the desktop or somewhere easy to access.
(3) Right click on the image and set it as the background.
(4) Hide your desktop icons by right clicking anywhere on the desktop and un-checking ‘Show Desktop Icons’.
(5) Hide the taskbar by right clicking on it and hitting the ‘Properties’ button. Then check the box that says ‘Auto Hide the Taskbar’.
After doing all that, you should be able to look at whatever you want.
If someone decides to be snobby and peeks at your screen, quickly hit ‘Window Key + D’ to minimize everything. As long as the person doesn’t examine your screen closely, it’ll just look like you’re working.

Hopefully, these methods can help you avoid the embarrassment of being caught looking at odd things at work.
Do you know a great way of hiding your work?

Pressing [Window key]+D will minimize all open windows. Its toggle too, ie after Boss leaving you can press it again to restore the windows

Drac,
I cannot believe that you would condone, let alone encourage people to not work while at work. I for one will not stand for this thievery from your employers. I would ask the mods to report drac to his employers at once...I'm just effin with ya. My monitors face away from my door and windows so nobody can see them. I lock when I'm away and quickly change to work programs the second somebody walks in.
