HIDE-IT! is a small applet that allows you to hide windows, taking them out
off the screen, off the taskbar and off the ALT-TAB chain. This way you can
hide those windows that you want to keep open, but you don't need to monitor
very often, e.g. (WFTPD, MS-Exchange, etc.).

REQUIREMENTS
============
A computer running Windows 95.

USAGE
=====
The first time HIDE-IT! runs will open a configuration dialog-box, once
configured (see CONFIGURATION below) it will place itself as a small icon
in the taskbar. You can access HIDE-IT! window double-clicking that icon.
You can also right-click the same icon to show a pop-up menu with the
available windows, selecting  any of will hide or restore it.

INSTALLATION
============
Just copy HIDEIT.EXE to to some directory of your choice and make a shortcut
to it in your desktop.

CONFIGURATION
=============
The configuration dialog-box appears automatically the first time Hide-It runs,
but you can also access it double-clicking the small icon and clicking
the "Configure" button.
Options:
* Bypass start-up dialog box:
    If you don't select this option Hide-it will show it's window on start-up,
    this option is checked by default.
* Hide automatically:
    This section allows you to customize Hide-it's start-up behaviour.
  - Previously hidden windows:
      If you check this, Hide-it wil remember what windows was hidding when
      it was closed last time, and will hide them again on start-up.
  - Rules:
      There are some programs that don't have always the same caption-bar,
      for example, Exchange. Here you can define what windows you want to hide,
      even if they have a variable caption.
  - Time out:
      Hide-it will stop trying to automatically hide windows after this
      time-out.


UNINSTALLATION
==============
Delete HIDEIT.EXE.
