...that if you are at work surfing the net and your boss or someone is approaching, and you want to just minimize the screen, but not completely close the page, all you have to do is press Alt then Esc. Sweet!

Well, how about that? Note it only works properly when your work related application is not minimized. It's not so much a minimizer as a task-switcher methinks. Like Alt-Tab but sneakier. Good find!

All of these MS tricks notwitshanding the first and most important rule of work surfing is:

Don't work with your back to the entrance of your cube or office.

Thank you. I will now Alt Tab back to my spread sheet.

Interestingly this worked for me at work but not at home. And they're the friggin same computer.

Think is, I'm quick with a mouse so I always just hit the little minimizer button up top. But at new job they aren't as pissy as old one about surfing. So I don't worry about it much.

Hmmm why the hell isn't this working at home...

Zefrank.com has links on th top of the page for people to click on if their boss walks in on them while they're visiting the site. The links are to the right of the ad on the top, or just click here or here.

Maybe Obner should have something like this.

I'm an alt-D man, myself.

But it's pretty obvious what I'm doing (covering).
