niceDesktop quickly hides all the running applications except the Finder
when it is selected from the processes menu (the one all the way to the
right...).
This saves a trip to the process menu. Instead of choosing "Finder" and
then right away choosing "Hide Others," you can just choose
"niceDesktop." This saves about .5 seconds. A graphic designer friend of
mine claims that this will save him at least 6 hours a year! Well worth
the $5, right? If you use this software, please register it. I put alot
of work into it, so if it helps you, and you use it, register.

Drop niceDesktop in your Startup Items folder and try it out! If you hold
down the command key while selecting niceDesktop from the process menu,
it will not hide all the applications, nor itself. You may then select
Quit or About... from the menus.
niceDesktop's file size is only 9k and uses only 36k of RAM, so you can
leave it running all the time.
