I've been looking for a good solution for hiding the MagicJack window for a long time. I even coded my own, the main issue like most other people said was that when watching movies or playing games in full screen, MagicJack steals focus when someone calls or picks up the phone (like my son does 1,000 times a day).

By far, the best solution I have found is Toppy.

Why on earth do so many different individuals have to write programs to stop this from popping up? Yes, I hate the fact that it steals the focus on the games, but more-so that it sits in the middle of the screen for 5 minutes while it loads!

Why on earth has the developer not yet added a couple options, such as:

An option to install as a service
To minimize on start up rather than spammin "duh,,, tell your friends"

The ONLY thing I have been "telling my friends" about this retarded product, is how stupid the developers could possibly be to not think how annoying it is day in and day out after every reboot that you will have this dumb spam in the middle of your screen with no way to get rid of for 5 minutes...!
To me this christmas gift is the most annoying product I have ever seen, and it is not the functionality, but the the idiot that designed it to stay in your face as long as it does.
The laughable part is they think it's possitive advertising, ummmm, no, it isn't at all, it's nothing more than annoying spam and I for one will do my best to help share my opinions to as many people I can that ever remotely suggest buying it,,,
I could never tell my girlfriend how I feel since it was a gift and I'm not a bad guy, but something tells me she can hear me grinding my teeth every time I have to reboot my comp.
The other thing that amazes me about products like this is don't developers ever look at something and ask themselves,,, "would I find this annoying or not?"
Have the fool thing start, maybe one dumb splash of tell your friends, then minimize the stupid thing already. There is NO need to have it stay unmovable for its entire loading phase.

OK, so here is how I eliminate the long load and the splash screen.
The dialer interface with the phone contacts list pops up in less than 30 seconds.
I launch the application only when I want to you it.

I don't know how it works for in coming calls as this phone is used only
for out going calls.

I moved the directory (folder) "mjusbsp' from:
C:\Documents and Settings\your user folder name\Application Data\mjusbsp
to:
C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Application Data\mjusbsp

Then created a short cut on my desktop with this "property."
"C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Application Data\mjusbsp\magicJack.exe" /scf _magicJackPersonalDataRoot "X:\magicJack"

In this case the "X" drive letter is the removable drive letter were you find the folder "magicjack" with this file list.
<Profiles>
CallLogs.clm
CfgCache.dat
Profiles.db
autorun.ico
CfgCache.dat.tmp0
AddressBook.xml

You will have to redo this hack each time Magicjack upgrades.

I'm sure this has been mentioned but wouldn't the following be much easier to implement?

1. Create a new user account on your PC called MagicUser (or whatever you want)
2. Log into MagicUser and start magicjack
3. Instead of "Log Off" choose "Switch use" and go back to your regular account.
4. Magic Jack will run in the background.

Of course this is useful only to those who don't use the softphone.

FREE "Magicsilence" Plugin Tool
Popup Dialer Window Manager for magicJack
for Windows XP/Vista/7

SYNOPSIS: YOUR WORK STAYS FOCUSED AND THE DIALER WINDOW STAYS CLOSED IN THE TRAYBAR UNTIL YOU DECIDE TO OPEN IT.

The "Magicsilence" Plugin tool gives you full control over the magicJack dialer window providing you with the ability to maintain focus on your primary computer activities. Unless you decide to manually open it, the magicJack dialer window will remain closed even during incoming and outgoing calls.

You can manually open the magicJack dialer window at any time as you normally do (by double left mouse clicking on the magicJack dialer icon) in case you want to check something or decide to use a headset for your call. The only difference is that you are now in control and whatever you are working on remains focused even when a new call is placed or arrives.

"Magicsilence" may be used by itself or alongside our popular "Magicfeatures", "Skyjack" and "Xlitejack" software plugins. In the event it does not meet your needs, a complete uninstall application is included.

The new "MagicSilence" Plugin Tool is ABSOLUTELY FREE and can be downloaded at http://tools.pcphonesoft.com OR http://www.magicsilence.com .
