Unhider reveals hidden windows

How often has this happened to you? You're minding you own business, going about your day with your Windows PC, and suddenly Windows Explorer crashes, your screen goes momentarily blank, and when it comes back certain windows don't show up in your taskbar anymore. Those applications and services might not have actually been shut down, but for all intents and purposes, they're inaccessible. Or are they?

Unhider is a free utility that will let you show any program currently running on your Windows system. It works whether you've just recovered from an Explorer crash or not. In fact, it's almost more interesting to run Unhider when your system is working perfectly, since it presents an easy way to see all the programs you're running in the background and eating up RAM if not CPU cycles.

You can also use Unhider in reverse and hide any application that's running on your desktop in case you want to replicate that just-crashed feeling.
