Free Virtual Desktop Manager for Windows from Microsoft

By Martin English | September 1, 2008

I’ve just been sent a link to a useful utility called Desktops, developed and supported by the Sysinternals team at Microsoft

Desktops (v1.0) is a Virtual Desktop Manager that lets you create up to four different desktop screens for arranging all those open applications in a more logical and productive manner.

For instance, you could put all work related programs in the first desktop window, chat programs in another virtual window and so on. This makes life less confusing when you have dozens of programs running simultaneously on the desktop. The software runs in your Windows taskbar, which makes it accessible an easy to switch from one virtual desktop to another by pressing the keyboard shortcut or through your mouse.

Previously, Microsoft has offered a virtual desktop manager as an XP Power toy but this one is very light and also compatible with Windows Vista.
