Virtual desktops

Saw a friend using virtual desktops on Linux, and discovered you can do it with XP:

There's a great alt-tabbing replacement program there too, and a spinkee graph drawing calculator :smile:

/gives ?5 gained from pimping Microsoft to the 'Support Bush's visit' campaign

Nice find.

Mm, I like the new calculator and the Tweak XP.

Tweak XP is cool. If you want a different virtual desktop try WinVNC, it's a neat program that runs on the system tray. It basically lets someone across the network control your mouse and keyboard inputs. There's a Java app to access remotely too, I think.

Be wary however that nobody gets on your computer you don't trust, because the passwords stored in the registry are very poorly encoded - which means remote control on your computer if you're not careful.

EDIT: Oh, by virtual desktop you meant multiple desktops. I thought you meant REMOTE desktop.

NView does it as well..

WOOT 9999th post!!! HAPPY 10,000 posts!!

I tried virtual desktops with nview but didn't find it at all useful...

Ask for help at your local hardware store, be sure wear all appropriate protective clothing, make sure children do not operate them. I believe in the UK Black and Decker have a wide variety of tools available in all good hardware stores.

RTFM :razz: The virtual desktop one requires you to right click on the toolbar and go to toolbars ? desktop manager
