DearWebby is actually Helmut Morscher, the CEO of Webby, inc.
Originally the "Tech Support Pits" were reports of the funniest tech support incidents, but over the years the
column gradually shifted to answering tech support questions put forward by the readers of the Dear
Webby Humor Letter.
This collection of computer and web advice was started partly because readers demanded an archive, and partly
because some questions were asked again and again. Each page has a different day's Tech Support Pits column.
Have FUN!

Tech Support Pits column from Dear Webby's Humor Letter of
02/05/05: Boss Key
Tech Support Pits:
From Elvira===
Dear Webby
I need a hot-key to instantly hide what I am doing. I write
poetry and sometimes get quite mushy. When my brothers
catch me at it, they tease me for weeks and months about
it. I heard that there is a boss-key that people use at work to
hide their games or email when the boss comes around,
but I don't know how to set that up.
Thanks
Elvira
Dear Elvira
Open PaintShopPro or any good graphics program.
Then open a spreadsheet or something that looks like
boring and tedious homework. Maximize that window.
Hit PrintScreen
Jump to the graphics program and hit CTRL V to paste
the screen capture. Save that as boss.jpg to some place
where you can easily find it.
Right-click onto the desktop
choose Properties
Desktop
browse to that picture and select it.
Hit APPLY and OK.
>From now on, that picture will be your desktop picture.
To temporarily hide anything and everything that is open,
hit the Windows key and D.
Once the big meanies are gone, hit the Windows key and
D again, and everything is instantly restored.
Have FUN!
Dear Webby
