Hello Prem1003

I guess one way would be to make another user account and use one for work and one for play - User Account - Create That way your personalized desktop settings would be different for each account and just log off/on to switch between then.

can it be set in one user account

There's no way of doing it that I can think of, but it is early yet! You can of course save different themes for appearance but without a separate user account or OS you wouldn't be able to for example set different desktop shortcuts as there would be only one user profile.

There may be some third party software that will do what you want but I'm not aware of it. Hang around see if anyone else knows of anything.

I've not tried it but you need something like this. VirtuaWin - Virtual Desktops for Windows

there are a few to try.
ThinkInBytes - Innovative software for Windows Vista and 7 - CubeDesktop, DeskCollage, DeskMotive, DeskPose
