SmokeScreen

With just one stroke of your mouse in any direction or one keystroke, the program can minimize all open windows, show a screen image that you've captured of a program that makes it look like you are working over what you were doing, or both. It can even mute your computer's sound, too. Then when it's safe, simply double-click anywhere on the screen to return to what you were doing and bring your sound back to the volume level it was before. You can even password protect the program so that only you can return the computer to its previous state before the SmokeScreen was activated or change the program's options.0
