Alt-Tab out when you hear footsteps.

change the icon and the short cut name, play in windowed mode for easy alt tabing

Just keep it in windowed mode and click off the screen when they come by. Listen to music instead of the in-game music. If you're trying to hide the file, rename it and change the icon display.

Wow, you are desperate... OT: Press alt tab and have a backup window that looks like or is homework.

do better in school, convince them that this is nothing more than the watered down version of gta on a computer.

Why are you acting like you are confessing to doing crack or being gay? Its just a game. Whats wrong with playing games?

If your playing in windowed mode, you really don't need to alt-tab out. Just make sure you have, for example, the Facebook login page behind maple and fully maximized. That way you can just click the page behind maple. Since the facebook login page is very simple, there is almost no lag when switching. Or, alternatively, you could just do your work. Much less hassle.

uhh no clue? My parents trust me to do my own work when I need to, then again I am a junior in high school. I restrict myself from playing so much and focus on my school work more. Show to your parents that you can be responsible of your school work. Well if you really want to not do work and just play all day... have maplestory on window mode and a browser web that shows you are doing something educated.

There's this thing where you can turn Maple's tab to an icon on the task bar. That's what my nephews do. My parents already know I play Maple, so it's too late for me!
