ZapIcones

When you share your office with several colleagues, it might be a good idea to hide your desktop icons when you leave your PC or whenever you want to quickly hide a document. ZapIcones can help you achieve that.

The main purpose of ZapIcones is to automatically hide your desktop icons if it detects your computer has been idle for a certain time interval (ranging from 1 to 30 minutes).

Alternatively, you can switch to manual mode and have the icons hidden when you move your mouse cursor to a pre-defined position on your desktop (top, top left, top right, bottom, bottom left or bottom right).

Another option to quickly hide all your desktop content is to double-click ZapIcones' taskbar icon.

The application can also be used to automatically minimize all running programs - you can hide the taskbar as well, thus making it harder for any intruder to snoop around your computer.

You can create a list with all the applications that should be minimized by default - this way, your regular work programs are still visible and accessible, so nobody can suspect that there are some other apps running in the background.

You can also set ZapIcones to clean up the Recycle Bin, to make sure no compromising traces are left behind should anyone come looking.

To wrap it up, ZapIcones can help you maintain your privacy by hiding desktop icons with hardly any effort on your side. Moreover, you can make the whole process look as innocent as possible, by revealing some of the running programs and hiding only the compromising ones.
