Stupid PowerShell Tricks

By Joel 'Jaykul' Bennett on 03-Feb-2009

So, last year around April, I wrote this module I called “HuddledTricks” ... it has a function for hiding windows, and another for showing them, along with a function called Wiggle-Mouse which, well, wiggles your mouse cursor (and one called Steady-Mouse to stop it).

So anyway, today I was playing with something else and with my WASP module, and discovered that you can hide the Windows 7 taskbar without hiding the start menu or button.

This seemed cool enough to motivate me to finally actually publish my HuddledTricks module, so have fun, and don’t prank too many people. :D

About Huddled Masses

This is web site is dedicated to the musings of Joel Bennett (aka Jaykul) about technology, software, software development, the web, and the world.

Any resemblance of the views expressed and the views of my employer, my terminal, or the view out my window are purely coincidental. The resemblance between them and my own views is non-deterministic. The question of the existence of views in the absence of anyone to hold them is left as an exercise for the reader.

P.S.: I occasionally link to things I think are great. When I do, I occasionally find a "referral code" so I can make a little cash. I promise that I don't link to anything just because of that cash (I wouldn't cross the street for the amount of cash those links bring in, never mind write a whole blog post) ... but I do not promise that things I link to will stay great as time passes, nor that you will agree with me about their greatness!
