    Sysinternals - Virtual Desktops WORK now in W7 and W8


    Hi there
    If you used to like the Virtual desktop program (note NOT Virtual Machines) (up to 4 Virtual desktops) for XP / W2K3 server the utility has now been updated to work for Windows 7 and Windows 8.

    Here's it on W8 -- will work the same on W7 --not on a W7 machine currently but it DOES work.

    download from Ms as the SYSINTERNALS suite and choose desktops. I find it very useful having totally switchable desktops with their own set of applications / backgrounds and windows.

    Cheers
    jimbo

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...
