Panic, grab the monitor and throw it across the room.

 

[neil3k]

Call me old-fashioned, but when I'm being paid to work that's generally what I do.

... for when someone walks behind you at work and you have to quickly minimise the forums or ALT-TAB out?!

Mine's Outlook. Full screen it looks like I'm busily reading emails whereas I'm silently waiting until the person has walked past so I can read the latest relationship thread gossip...

Just another tab on Firefox which makes it look like I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing

This is what you need:

"You need to hide your open windows, quickly. The desktop is filled with them. The toolbar is hidden. You can only remember - Ctrl + Alt + Del. You panic. What do you do?
It's easy! Draw a zigzag and Zigzag Cleaner will hide applications and documents. All or spare. To restore, just draw another zigzag."

I usually have outlook open but have Opera open and resized to the same size as the reading pane in Outlook. Makes it look like whatever I'm browsing is actually an email.

windows + m minimizes all windows
windows + l locks the pc
f11 maximises the browser covering up the taskbar
or powerpoint presentation with a screenshot of work on it

 

[Psyk]

Hardcore gay porn. That'll teach them to sneak up on me.

 

[Mr^B]

I don't use the forums at work.

 

[joeconway]

doesn't firefox have a built in boss key? or maybe thats a plugin i once had... I cant really remember

was damned useful in school though

 

[paradigm]

Command prompt connected to one of a variety of different console sessions of cisco hardware. Most people wouldn't even want to try comprehending what is in there.

I also have my command prompt set to blue background, so it looks that little bit more like OcUK forums

People then just assume that I'm doing router/pix configs rather than on the forums

Where I work, I'm sat in the corner of the room with my back to the wall, looking at the rest of the office. The problem I have is trying to look like I'm not browsing.

 

[Simian]

AutoCAD with a Complex Drawing up as thats what I'm supposed to be doing!!

 

[Royal Fleet]

I just minimise it, and with the plugin for Firefox, that minimises it to the system tray, so no-one can see it in the taskbar.

 

[Sm1ffy]

I wish I could use the internet while working, but apparently its illegal to use a mobile while driving, so i doubt mr plod would be too impressed if I was using the forums on my phone while driving

 

[mrbios]

normally ive got all sorts of windows open like:

Group policy management
active directory
remote desktop onto multiple servers
Adobe premiere elements doing video editing
outlook

amoung other things, so alt tabing to make myself look busy doesnt normally have a program of selection i just whack the first one that appears next

 

[snowdog]

windows+ d is disabled on my school, it used to work but I guess they've noticed it .
I use microsoft word, some kind of project, and pretent im writing.
