A way to hide Civ 3 at work? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

Does anyone know of a simple way to quickly hide Civ 3?
I like playing it at work but what I need is a way to maybe press one button and have it close immediatly or have another program pop over it. Or is there a way to play it in windowed mode so I can just minimize it?
(I think you get the idea of why and what I'm trying to do here:-) )
Thanks George

not quite Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

That's what I'm currently doing..
I'm using windoes xp so I don't know if that makes a difference but...
When I hit the windows key. the start menuu and task bar come up in front of civ but civ is still there. At that point I have to point to the task bar and switch programs.
What I wanted to do was just hit one key and have something (work related) come up.

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

If you have any other programs up, all you need to do is hit Alt-Tab, and Windows will activate the next program in its queue. I do that at home when I don't want my wife to know that I'm playing, so I don't have to hear her nag!

ALT+TAB is actually the best solution I know.

Thanks for the help Remove this text

ALT-TAB works great.
I was even able to program my middle scroll mouse button to ALT TAB. Now when someone come in I just press the mouse button.

Thanks again.
