Question: Roll, roll, roll your... window.

Is there a piece of software that /only/ rolls up your windows?

I know Windowblinds does it and that you can rollup windows if you use Blackbox for Win, but I'm looking for a small tool thata skinning app or a shell replacement does no skinning, just the rolling. It's okay if it has a few other functions obv. I seem to remember reading about something like this a long time ago...

Back in my NT4 days I used to use a small app called WinShades. But a Google Search and VersionTracker don't list anything promising, so I guess it's defunct now.

Actually, this page has it! The Blue Carpet website, however, is down. No idea if it still works on the latest version of Windows.

Actual Window Rollup or something else by that company (a bit pricey considering the simple function)

i remember the prog you are thinking of but cannot seem to find it again

FreeShade? It has a few functions besides windowshading but it's by no means a bloated monstrosity.
