Thx for sharing this great freeware. it’s looks nice. i currently use Cool Desk, which is also a virtual desktop manager. And it can create up to 9 virtual desktops. You can find it on http://www.sharewarecheap.com/....._2132.html
Smith,
Thanks for letting me know about another freeware….
I always wanted to try this out, and now thanks to you sharing this awesome freeware, I’ve got my ticket. I really enjoyed having multiple desktops while I was working in RedHat, and I always thought it would have made a killer feature to be included in Windows - and it is:)
Cheers!

@Nadeesha,
Yes it really awesome tool…
This is a great little tool, especially for me; I recently stopped using Litestep, which supported multiple desktops, so it’s nice to have this feature in another format.

@LSama, Happy to see that it helps you. Let me know after you start using it.
This is cool! I’ve never seen Sysinternals’ Desktops before so now I am putting it in my list of freewares to review. I’ll give you a link when I do!
