SoftDesigner Unhider

SoftDesigner Unhider is a tiny and portable application that can quickly hide and display the windows of any currently running programs.

For example, it's useful to gain access to windows which cannot be otherwise displayed after a Windows Explorer crash. Alternatively, you can protect your privacy from other people while working on your PC by rapidly hiding open windows and making them inaccessible from the taskbar and systray.

The entire program's packed in a single .exe file that can be dropped in any part of the disk or copied to a removable storage unit to effortlessly launch SoftDesigner Unhider on any computer without previous setup.

It doesn't need libraries or other components to work, update your system registry with new entries, or create additional files on the disk.

When it comes to the interface, the app adopts a simple window with a neatly organized structure that doesn't put emphasis on graphical elements.

All windows are automatically detected and listed at startup. Unfortunately, the tool doesn't provide details about them, apart from window titles, so it may be difficult to tell them apart, especially since there may also be multiple windows with identical titles. In order to figure them out, you can toggle their display.

One or more selected windows can be brought up to the screen as well as hidden and made seemingly invisible by clicking on two buttons.

It worked smoothly in our tests, without freezing, crashing or indicating errors. CPU and RAM usage was minimal during its runtime, so it didn't hamper the computer's performance.

Too bad that SoftDesigner Unhider doesn't list more details about windows. We must also keep in mind that it hasn't been updated for a while.
