Ok, I understand that chessatwork.com is supposed to be more suitable for people who are trying to get away with playing chess at work. There is one problem though. When you minimize redhotpawn.com, the little box at the bottom of your screen may say: "RedH..." as mine does now. When you minimize chessatwork.com, it often says: "chess...". It seems to me that redhotpawn.com is a little more "stealth" in that regard. Maybe there's something that can be changed in the code so chessatwork doesn't display this way when minimized.
Ok, I really need to get some work done now! 🙂
Originally posted by rhbTrue, but I kind of like the windows bar at the bottom of my screen. Actually, I think if you just changed the "title" tags in the html, to something like "sales forecasts", or something generic like "microsoft" that should do the trick.
You could simply hide the windows bar (click the edge of it and drag it to the edge of the screen) then use [alt] + [tab] to alternate between windows.

Dunno if this is any help but:-
You could set it to auto-hide; you'll still have a grey bar across the bottom and all you do is point at it with the mouse and it appears until you move the mouse away again.
Right click on toolbar/properties/under the taskbar tab check the box for auto-hide....

Even so, if your boss comes over and wants to look at someting on your screen, he might still see it if you need to use the Start menu or something.
You can use Firefox and have multiple tabs, and leave a different tab active when you minimize it, but there's still a risk.
How about a user configurable title?

Using this extension, TitleBar Tweaks (https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=57&application=firefox), you can change your browser titlebar to say Microsoft Hard at Work if you want.

called tabbed browsing. Each tab has a title based on the title of the web page being viewed under that tab.
The extension alters the titlebar of the Firefox window (which normally also contains the title of the webpage in the active tab) but not the titles of the tabs
Originally posted by aging blitzerThats not unique to Firefox - I am able to open other sites at the same time with IE by just clicking on the "e" in the task bar and it opens my home page again in another window. From there I can browse anywhere. Simple. The site tabs also show up in the bottom task bar - whats so special about FF??
