None, I have alt-tab and the IRC.
But I don't really need that either, you can't immediately see my screen when you open the door and it's not like they don't know anyway when you frantically click aroun/punch a pillow in your crotch when they enter.

I don't look at "naughty stuff" but if I need to hide something, I just simply press ALT+F4. Nothing important that I do. If for some reason I have important stuff, all I do is new window.
I usually have ton's of tabs open at the same time, like SMWC, Youtube, some Anime site, some download. So I always have some tabs at hand.
In addition, you can hear if someone walks up the stairs in our house, so I'm really caught "off guard"
And last but not least... by parents knock before they enter my room

I keep a "fake browsing session" with a few tabs opened like youtube and Deviantart, and just open that and close the "naughty stuff" if someone is coming. I'm usually extremely alert while looking at "naughty stuff" so I have never been caught doing it. (except that one time my mom secretly installed a key logger on my computer, if that counts)
I hide everything from everyone (except SMW hacking) so I always have my thumb on the monitor switch, and the monitor tilted away from my door at a 135 degree angle.
And at the end of every session, I clear my browsing history and recent items list. So no-one knows what I do on the computer.
Also, just in case, I have the new tab minimized.

No risk, no fun. I don't have any extra tabs open so if somebody walks in, I'm screwed.
j/k if somebody were to approach, I'd hear it in time as they have to walk down the stairs first. Plenty of time to close the window and pretend I'm being a good boy.

Jesus man, what kind shit do you DO on the computer?
I'm like most of the people here and I have a door that my parents knock on. I can also hear them walking up the stairs and down the hall so I have time to close it.
They hardly bother me ever though. If they need something my mom will just send me a message on facebook, and if she's not home her boyfriend just yells up the stairs and calls my name.
