Want to expand your desktop with several virtual desktops? You could go with Microsoft’s own Virtual Desktop Manager PowerToy, but it’s geared for XP and it only offers four “spaces” to work in. (Sorry Mac fans, I had to use that word)If you’re looking for that same functionality but with more potential desktops or you’re running an older version of Windows, you might want to check VirtuaWin, an open source virtual desktop app. VirtuaWin works on practically every version of Windows up to XP and offers you a brain-overloading 255 desktops on your single machine. I struggle to maintain a single desktop, so I’ll leave this to those with more neural pathways than me. I suspect I have a case of ADDD: Attention Desktop Deficit Disorder. In all seriousness, an approach like this can help expand the small screen of a UMPC, even if it’s only virtually. You can set up a desktop for productivity apps, one for messaging, one for media, etc…(via Download Squad)
