This plugin is a mod of Bosskey plugin and is intended to hide all window icons 
and windows of Miranda on hotkey press.

Whats new:
- Added ability to set a password
- Added Miranda 0.8 support
- Reworked options dialog
- Status management system was rewritten. Now statuses are changed perprotocol.
- Added main menu item
- Updater plugin support
- Various changes and bugfixes

This plug-in hides all of Miranda's windows and system tray icon/s when you press a specified hotkey (Ctrl+F12 is the default), mostly useful to hide Miranda from your boss :)
BossKey was very much inspired by AntiA, and adds a couple of features to the original AntiA (Like: Icon/s can be restored, you can set a status message to when you leave etc.)


Installation:
============
To install the plug-in you will need to copy BossKey.dll to your Miranda's plug-in directory (<MIRANDA DIR>\plugins).


Uninstallation:
==============
Delete the BossKey.dll from <MIRANDA DIR>\plugins.


How to use:
==========
Press the hotkey (F12, by default) from anywhere in the system, and see how Miranda "disappears".
You should know that it's still there, it's just hidden (A quick look using a task manager will reveal it), so keep that in mind :)
You should also check out the options (Events->BossKey), they are somewhat useful :)
