Hi all! I was wondering if you can make multiple desktop folders so you can have one desktop with just music on the and another for games ect.

And NO I don't mean Having multiple desktops by letting you sort windows on separate panels.

It would be nice having multiple desktops instead of using folders on the desktop and making a mess.


Thank you for your time!
:) :thumbsup::cool:

How do I make multiple desktop folders CONT.

That is not what I meant.

Let me show you a diagram.


This is the basic idea


You have in your location "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMEinmycaseismike\Desktop"

That is where all of the files that are on your desktop are located.

I want to have 3 more of these folders i.e. Desktop, Desktop2, Desktop3, Desktop4

So I can store separate files in separate places

Not so I can organize windows into separate boxes. And yes that is helpful if you have too many windows open but I have too many files on my dtop so I want to organize without folders

For example you have your main desktop with no files except recycle bin

You can have another desktop with Game's Shortcuts for example BeamNG.drive or Rigs of Rods

Then you have another desktop folder that holds temporary things

for example I store a lot of my new downloads to my desktop so I can get to them easy but then I have a project that I want to create with Visual Basic or Unity 5 and I want to store that on my desktop. So I have to create a new folder, name it Temp or SORT THIS TEMP and cram everything into it so I have a clean space to work. And yes, I know what you're thinking now, "Well why are you so messy" or "Why don't you organize your files". Well this is because

1. I already am organizing 20 of the 1,000,000 temp folders that I have (Side note: my temp folders are named and dated example TEMP 7/10/2017)

2. Since I am a programmer and game developer (And player) I produce SOOOOO much stuff that I don't have time to sort all of it.



Long complicated annoying boring story short..

I just need more desktops

Thank you for your help on Unlocking Virtual Desktops. I do use this but I need help on the thing(s) that I said.

I hope you know or somebody knows how to do this.

Thank you all for you're help and time



PS: Since I am on sevenfourms I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit












The end! finally. :hot:

Sorry for necro'ing, but have you found a solution yet?

I have always needed multiple desktop folders, and have yet to find an answer.

Can you create a folder (ie La Musica!) on your C:\ drive, put all your 'music in it, & then create a shortcut to it, then drag it to your desktop? Click on it & theres all your music.

That is NOT convenient if you only have one monitor,

and still does not work like a desktop. the best thing you could do is create multiple user acounts, however that is inconvenient if you want to use the same files for E.G. Photoshop.
