Anyone know what this "HiddenForm" program might be from the icon? Image link here. It displays a small featureless window if you switch to it. Thanks. posted by krisjohn to computers & internet (3 answers total)
That's a generic icon from Visual Studio (a programming application produced by Microsoft). Visual Studio also calls certain parts of programs "forms", so this would probably be a program that someone wrote in Visual Studio, and intended it to not be visible. I'm guessing that you don't see a window from this program - hence the "hidden" title - but for whatever reason it still shows up in the alt+tab Task Switcher. posted by Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug at 2:24 PM on December 9, 2010 [1 favorite]
Oh, right..you said that it's a small window. That may have been the only way the programmer knew how to hide things, though there are certainly more effective ways. posted by Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug at 2:25 PM on December 9, 2010
Thanks. I suspect it's lazy programming in the Olympus dictaphone software. posted by krisjohn at 2:42 PM on December 9, 2010
