Watch Cat

Watch Cat uses a menu to keep track of programs you are running and lets you hide any running application from view. Application windows that are hidden by Watch Cat not only disappear from your desktop but also from the Taskbar and from the list of running tasks displayed by ALT-TAB as well. There are options to hide and show all windows and to hide or show your desktop icons. Other options let you hide and unhide programs using hot keys or by right-clicking on any application's "minimise" icon. You can even set up timers to hide or close windows. To hide or unhide any application, right-click on Watch Cat's System Tray icon and select an application from the menu that appears.

If you need to keep applications running unobtrusively you could try the 147 kB WatchCat 2.0 (last freeware version) for Windows

GreenPrint World

GreenPrint is a free paper-saving software. The utility shaves off extra pages when people print from a personal computer. The application, detects and highlights unwanted content, such as banner ads on a Web page that tend to spill over onto extra pages. GreenPrint solves a problem nearly every computer user has
experienced: The wasteful pages that seem only to appear after a document has been printed (for example, pages with just a URL, banner ad, legal jargon, or a run-over Excel column). GreenPrint does this by analyzing the document and then highlighting and removing unnecessary pages. It lets users delete images from the printed page and quickly create print-friendly PDF documents. GreenPrint World incorporates an easy to use PDF writer, a print preview called GreenView, and a reporting feature which keeps track of the number of pages, trees, and money saved. GreenPrint aspires for widespread adoption of its product to spare 100 million trees from being chopped down and 300 million tons of greenhouse gases from polluting the atmosphere. Requirements: Windows 2000/XP/Vista, 1GHZ+ Processor 256 MB RAM, .NET Framework 2.0 (installed automatically). The 22.6 MB GreenPrint World 1.0.1  CLICK HERE FOR DOWNLOAD
