Portable PMW (Process Manager for Windows) is an intuitive app you can use to easily control active windows, hide or show them on the desktop, and change their opacity level, among other actions.

It sits in the systray to provide you quick access to its options while proceeding with your typical desktop activity.

The advantage of the portable edition is that you can copy the downloaded package to your hard drive or to a removable storage device and directly fire up the tool (without installing it).

Just make sure that .NET Framework is installed on your PC, otherwise PMW won't run.

Several keyboard shortcuts can be triggered to perform commands, such as killing a process (Ctrl+Win+K), increasing the priority of a process (Ctrl+Win+Up/Down), remembering a window (Ctrl+Win+S), and hiding PMW (Ctrl+Win+Alt).

You can hide all the other windows (Ctrl+Win+O), keep a panel on top of others (Ctrl+Win+A), set a window's transparency level (Ctrl+Win+Left/Right), minimize any window to the systray (Ctrl+Win+T), hide everything (Ctrl+Win+H), unhide all (Ctrl+Win+U), kill all windows (Ctrl+Win+Alt+K) as well as exit the application (Ctrl+Win+Q). Unfortunately, these hotkeys cannot be remapped.

As far as program options are concerned, you can hide any of these commands from the right-click menu of Portable PMW, hide the program from the systray, and disable shortcuts to be able to use only the context menu entries.

Although PMW hasn't received updates for a considerable amount of time, we didn't have any trouble getting it up and running on the newest Windows version.

It delivers a simple and straightforward solution for controlling the behavior of opened windows via hotkeys. Too bad that it's not possible to modify these key combinations.
