Don't you just hate it when you have to leave your computer in a hurry and everybody can see or hear the music you're listening to, the apps you're running and the windows you've opened?

System Silencer comes to the rescue! This little app will help you control what can be seen and heard from your computer when you're away / idle.

Run System Silencer and when you're away your computer's monitor can turn itself off, the sound will be muted and you can even choose to hide your taskbar and desktop icons! Of course, you can skip all the hiding and just configure System Silencer to lock your computer while you're away.

Additional options allow you to kill a process and run a program or file, if you have anything specific you'd like to hide or show while you're "afk".

(Fun fact: When choosing a name for this app, I initially thought of "Silence! I kill you!", but that seemed a bit too violent, so I found this less aggressive name)

System Silencer is a freeware application that can be downloaded from here.

Version 1.2 looks like this (future versions may look different - with more actions / options):
