This makes all your Internet Explorer windows disappear (boss key)! Just press windows key + Z to hide all IE windows, and windows key + shift + Z to unhide all IE windows. Great example of subclassing, hotkeys, API calls, enumeration, callback functions, and use of the system tray. Your feedback (and/or votes) are greatly appreciated!
Side Effects
If you hide all the IE windows then close the app, you can only get them back by re-opening the app, then pressing win-Z, win-shift-Z. I have only tested this on Windows 2000. Please let me know if it works for you on NT4, 95, or 98! Thanks!
