Review by Michael E. Callahan aka Dr. File Finder

For a really solid, full-featured virtual desktop solution take a look at Cool Desk 3.86, by Shelltoys, Inc. This one has been around for awhile and it's just gotten better and better. Cool Desk let's you have up to nine virtual desktops to work with.

This product really gives you a lot of flexibility and a number of user configurable options. For example, each desktop can have its own wallpaper as well as its own screen resolution. So, you can play a game in 800 x 600 in one desktop, and go back to work at 1680 x 1050 in another. Slick.

Every virtual desktop can also have its own icons. Another cool feature is the ability to assign hot keys to each desktop so you can switch "desks" with just a key press. Cool Desk allows you to manage everything easily by including a handy desktop manager module. It also supports the use of sticky applications. What's that? Well if there are applications you use all the time making them 'sticky' means you'll find them in every virtual desktop. A very handy feature. Cool Desk supports drag and drop, making backgrounds transparent, and skins. Very nicely done. The program is easy-to-use and intuitive. Give it a try.
