Noticed this on AutoIt3 example scripts

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=94763

Let it sit in task tray and any time you open a cmd window, it sets it to semi-transparent blur background.  Requires Vista or W7.

It modifies any cmd.exe it sees.  If you have a script that pops up a command window it looks really cool if this is running. :)

For myself I added an exit function to unhook the window.  Don't know if windows does it automagically when a window is destroyed, but it can't hurt to manually unhook it.
