If I'm not mistaken there is another Microsft app ( I think its a power toy for XP) its called the desktop manager and it allows for 4 desktops. I've had it for a while but its not that amazing.
Haha, of course you can close Desktops without logging off, you should be able to do that for every application. Just go into Task Manager (by right-clicking the taskbar or pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del or Ctrl+Shift+Esc), find Desktops.exe and kill the process by right clicking it and selecting End Process.
So, the concept of having multiple dealies up like that is cute and all, but what's the point? Why do that rather than just using all your apps and stuff in one "virtual space"?
It's pretty ridiculous that leading OS that gets money from people can't get a good Virtual space thats as good as a free OS made by the people for the people and it is SO MUCH smoother/faster/cleaner and more useful.
ubuntu sh*t in my oppinion and win 7 is still got bugs that they repairing pc whiz kid correct me if im wrong cause it might be abel 2 download and use it like i can use a xp game on a vista laptop
umm you do know theres other OS' out there besides windoze? Been kinda lot of m$ stuff recently, ppl can easily search for info about it outside googletoob
Hey PC Wizzkid, I have a problem which I really need help with as its very annoying. By the way your vids are awesome keep em coming. My problem is Firefox 3.5 is NOT saving my prefs, Like im changing themes and stuff and nothing is happening. Any idea whats going on as ive tryed older versions and even reinstalling dont work. Thanks !
great video - using it and working now....a have a quick question though not related to this video, which i hope you can help.
I am trying to and make one of those photo gallery DVD with fades transistions, sounds for some holiday photos i have. Do you know what software ( free or not ) that i can use.? - any help will be welcome.
they had a powertoy like that since win xp launched back in 2002. also what is the app you are using to display your battery meter on the taskbar? or are you using a thinkpad ;) ?
lets not forget.... microsoft wrote basic for apple back in the 70s.... and microsoft saved apple by buying half of them.. otherwise BANKRUPTCY.... i think they have the right to steal:p
No-one has the right to steal (though there's stealing and there's stealing =). But, what about that "and microsoft saved apple by buying half of them" -- what do you mean?
if you dual boot but not with this tool. This basically creates 4 desktops on your one, but its just divided, not like 4 DIFFERENT desktops (like diff monitors)
My friend had something like this but better. It's for Windows XP. I never had a good PC so i thought i shouldn't even bother but now I do so I really want to find it.
isnt it a trial or something? and after couple of weeks or months it will be shutting down every 2 hours, Can i fix that by getting a cracked Serial Key?
sorry for late reply and this will be last question thx for helping btw, how come when i try to use Nero to burn files onto a CD like a windows7 file cuz u have to do that right, it just doesnt work my bro is coming back to pick up the one that he bought didnt work and return it (didnt come with software disc) that why? didnt come with software disc?
looks nice, but there are better free utilities. Running that many explorers at once will slow down people with older systems, and the program has a lot of limitations.
I think I'll stick with virtuawin. Free, up to something like 12 desktops, or 20 or something, doesn't run multiple instances of explorer, small and in background, and it can be hidden.
It's a shame microsoft doesn't have a virtual window manager, it would be a nice add-on to Windows 7.
I used to use this but it takes way too much memory and is very slow when u have alot of windows open. So i went back to just 1 space and i like it now as it is originally.

mindlesstube 2 years ago
I'd assume not.
It only runs multiple explorer.exe's
Not virtual machines.
So, unless your game allows multiple processes of itself to be ran at the same time(which I doubt), then no.
If you want something like that, look into VMware
