    Multiple Desktops

    I installed a multiple desktop application thinking I would be able to use a completely seperate desktop for certain tasks.
    I want to use a completely blank one for taking screenshots of my application and creating technical documents.

    So I deleted all my shortcuts off that desktop.
    Then switched back to my primary one, and they were all gone.
    Erk.


    So. Does anyone happen to know off-hand of any multiple desktop applications that will actually create a seperate desktop from the primary one ?

    I'd install a second video card and have windows do it for me.

    What did you use for mulitple desktops in the first place? The thing in the XP Powertoys?

    Get these: Mozilla Opera OpenBSD
    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.

    A product called "MegaScale MultiDesktop Manager".
    I must say that it does work very well.

    No weird setup. Very very very quick and simple setup.
    You should take a look.

    Why did you delete them M8?

    Just right-click the desktop >> arrange all icons >> show desktop icons. Uncheck it, and wham.... all icons gone (or hidden).

    Or find some code for VB which does that automatically when you run a program! No idea on code, before you ask!

    Regards,

    Paul.
