Virtual/Multiple Desktops

int · 15 Oct 2008 at 16:11

I used to run a cool little program that would allow me to use 2/3/4 desktops at once, but I can't seem to find it.

Google seems to bring back poor attempts at what I used to use! It may be that it is there and just doesn't look at impressive as I had remembered, hah

Cheers

I've installed the Virtual Desktop Power Toy App, but I don't know what it's done?!

IIRC it gives you buttons next to the Systray which are multiple desktops, its been a while since I used it TBH as I am on Vista now.

This may help....

Thanks J.T, I hadn't enabled the "Desktop Manager Bar"...this surely should come up automatically?

Thanks again.

No problem,

You know MS, they don't like to make things work as you think they should but rather as they think you want them to work. LOL
