The best way to hide all running app would be to either lock it or run a screensaver. By default screensavers are only activated when your PC is idle for a certain time, but with the help of a nifty utility you can activate the screensaver quickly.
Tray Blank is a little tool that adds an icon to your system tray so that you can use it to start your screen saver by double-clicking on it. Right-clicking pops up a menu with the options to start the screen saver, turn off the monitor, display the "About" window and exit the program.
