EXE for Full Screen Black (Win 7 x64) - benevida - 2014-03-30

I need to find an exe file that when opened, creates a full screen window (no borders or anything else) that is completely black, (creating, essentially, a black screen). The exe needs to run on Windows 7 x64.

The idea is that when another application in front of it is closed, then it looks like there is just a black screen.

Does anyone know if this exists as a utility anywhere?

Thanks.

Here is an autohotkey script that can blank the screen and hide the mouse pointer. Install autohotkey, rightclick desktop > New autohotkey script. Edit this script in notepad and add the code below, save. Right click the file and compile to get the exe file. Press 'Esc' to close.
