    Sysinternals - Desktops hangs system on 2nd switch


    Hi all
    Some bad news
    I LIKE virtual desktops -- I really miss the power toy feature in XP which allowed you to have 4 virtual desktops.

    The Sysinternals suite has a similar facility for VISTA and it seemed to work on 71o0-- X-64.

    However after switching desktops TWICE (It works once) ALL ypor Icons disappear and the system hangs
    Only re-boot possible.

    Pity as I LIKED this one.

    Cheers

    There is a better on here. You have to change the default hot keys because the interfere with windows 7 hot keys but it works great and you will have Aero on all of your desktops.
