Virtual Desktops manager, skins supported
Review by Michael E. Callahan aka Dr. File Finder
AltDesk 1.5.1, by Gladiators Software is another powerful virtual desktop tool. I happen to use this one on my main computer and it gives me lots of flexibility. It's extremely easy-to-use and perfect for users with all levels of experience. AltDesk lets you assign hot keys not only to the virtual desktops, but to other functions as well. Here again you can give each desktop a unique wallpaper, a hot key, and you can also have sticky applications.  The screen shot shows AltDesk running from my computer. If you look at it you can see the icons in each desktop. If I want I can drag the icon for the Boxer Text Editor from the top left to the lower right. In the lower left pane an XP virtual machine is running on the virtual desktop. All kinds of virtual stuff at my house. AltDesk also has a wide range of skins you can use to spice it up, but I've stuck with one of the default selections. It takes up very little space on my real screen and if you want you can even configure it to take up less than mine does. AltDesk has a feature I haven't found in similar products and that's a security function. I can press a keystroke and all evidence of the program disappears. I'm not totally sure why you'd want to do that, but I tested it and it worked as advertised. AltDesk is both powerful and simple. So, if you're looking to expand your desk space perhaps this is your solution.
System Requirements: Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP
