To Hide All Palettes and Windows

Use this method to hide and restore palettes, windows, and ribbons.

  1. At the Command prompt, enter HIDEPALETTES.
  2. To turn on palettes that you've hidden, at the Command prompt, enter SHOWPALETTES.

    If a palette has been turned back on manually and moved, it is not affected by SHOWPALETTES.

    Note: You can also press Ctrl+0 or click the Clean Screen button at the lower-right corner of the drawing area to show and hide palettes.
