This is a tiny utility that will add an icon in the notification area of the
Windows taskbar, and add 4 shortcut keys (Windows+Left, Windows+Right,
Windows+Up, Windows+Down).
When you press one of the shortcuts (say Windows+Right for example), the
currently active window will "hide" to the right edge of your screen, showing
only one pixel of its border. It will also stay "always on top" of other
windows, so you will always see this one pixel border. Then when you hover
your mouse on that border, the window will appear and take the focus, so you
can use it. When you move back your mouse away from the window, it will hide
again.
In effect the window will act like the Windows taskbar when the "auto-hide"
setting is checked, or other similar bars (eg. the Google Desktop "sidebar").
This utility can be useful if you have a few small windows that you use often
(for example a terminal or a command prompt) and you want to access them
quickly just by moving the mouse.
Limitations:
* Doesn't seem to work with a few "special" windows, like Winamp for
example.
* Multi-monitor setup is not supported / tested.
* Tested only under Windows XP.
Note: this is actually an AutoHotkey script, compiled into an executable file
(see http://www.autohotkey.com/).
