WORKING WITH MULTIPLE DESKTOP

Sometimes we’re working with many applications and windows. Opening many application and windows simultaneously will make your desktop and taskbar full and it will be difficult when we’re going to switch between windows. What if we’re able to use as many as desktop we want? Then this small but useful utility will help you out.
Deskpot is a virtual desktop utility. You can make a virtual desktop up to 20 desktops, switching between desktop, moving application from one to other desktop and assigning different wallpapers to each desktop. You can download Deskpot here.



Configuring Deskpot

Notes: You can fine tune the settings to fulfill your needs. The settings above are the most used by me.

3. Configuring Desktop Appearance

- Right click on the Deskpot icon on the system tray
- Click Configure Desktops
- In this window you can assign different wallpaper and resolution for each desktop
- On the Properties tab, name your desktop and choose the desktop resolution you want

4. Working with Multiple Desktop
