Boss Key program for Mac os x tiger

It's your business what you want to do, but playing games on company time is a really good way to get yourself fired. People do, and have been fired for using the Internet for personal use on company time also.

Should add, businesses routinely install tracking software on employee's computers to watch what you're doing on company time. Some simply track keystrokes they can evaluate later. More advanced software will allow them to actually watch what you're doing on their monitor as if they were sitting at your computer. So having a "boss key" will do you no good.

A person where my wife works was recently fired in just that way. They knew she was spending hours doing personal shopping on line.

The term "bosskey" has kind of entered the vernacular and doesn't necessarily mean you're doing this at work. F11 is set up to move aside (not exactly hide) all windows except the desktop, which I find very handy on a routine basis working on a 17" CRT (so in reality smaller) monitor with 4 apps + finder windows open.

The term "boss key" has only one obvious meaning. Why else would the OP plainly ask?

Need to hit like F5 and immediately hide a game such as wingnut 2.

Your example has nothing to do with hiding your intentions from your boss.

Heh! Just realized the silliness of my own response. Yes, of course you can use Exposé as a boss key. But that's still exactly what you're doing when hiding your true activity from your boss. Using it as a boss key. But then you have to hope your boss is dumb enough not to question why your screen is never showing anything productive every time he or she approaches your station.

This will also of course still do you no good if your company is using monitoring software. They won't have to be standing anywhere near your computer to see what you're up to.

command + H

CMD+h works fine in Civ3 & Civ4.

Glad you got your answer, and cleared the air. 🙂 Did F11 do it for you?

Sorry, Jorge. It wasn't my intent to nag or scold you for your question. It was just the most logical reason to ask how to quickly hide a program.
