oh god no - need help quickly

[WorAl]

How can I disguise PH on my computer so that the bloke who has just started can't see it?

I have been ok so far as no-one can see my screen so if anyone walk about I can just shrink it to the bottom of the screen.

Now he is sitting behind me and I cant see what he's doing but, he can see my screen. (he is also my boss' friend which doesnt help as my boss doesn't really like me).

If i'm unable to disguise it i may not be able to use PH until lunch times - Oh dear god I'm dreading the thought that I'm actually goin to have to work

You need a mirror on top of your screen so that you can see behind you.

Get a new job.

Have you thought about becoming a member of a minority group? That would make you un-sackable.

Do what you're paid to do?

Start a religion that finds Work, being sacked and being payed less than £100,000 a year offensive.

There's no call for that kind of attitude!

I've asked my bank to treat me as a third world country so they can write off my debt but I got a blank faced look in return.

Minimise it to a thin strip at the bottom of the screen, open an Excel spread sheet, as PH is mostly white it'll blend in. Worked for me for 2 years!

[Galileo]

Yeah, look, sorry 'bout that. Wasn't thinking. I'm having a bad day, alright?

I used to have the perfect tool for this when I was in an open plan office. It would load a webbrowser into any folder/program window i.e within Outlook and blended it in all subtle like.

I've forgotten its name now though. But it sounds like just what you're after.

HTH

Buy the bloke a fking great big screen as a welcome present.

So big, he can't see past it or over it.


Or,or,or, or some kind of polarised glasses so that your screen looks blank to him.








Christ, look, I said Sorry.

All you need is some protein shake, a gym membership and several months hard work. In that way, you can expand your shoulders enough to cover your screen from behind. None of this silly wing mirror nonsense.

[Mr Will]

You just need to a bit of clever positioning of your windows:

This sounds like what i'm after. especially since we're moving to outlook soon (believe it or not we are still using lotus notes )

I hate people being able to see my screen at work. Even though I work hard, people only seem to walk by when I'm taking a break.

This might help. Are you using Firefox? I'm sure you can do this in IE too, but these instructions are for FF.

1. Start a new Firefox window just for PH.
2. Tools->Options->Content. Switch off "Load images automatically" - that clears out the emoticons and PH logo.
3. Same place, click Colours. Switch off "Allow pages to choose their own colours".
4. In Colours again set your visited and unvisited link colours to black on white, same as normal text.
5. Click View->Toolbars and turn off all your toolbars. Your Firefox window is now as bare and minimal as you could want.

What you have now is a text-only, colour-free PH that won't look like anything much to a quick glance. Just keep the window small and you'll be set.
