The urVirtualDesktops utility is a Windows program that allows you
to create and access virtual desktop space (requires Windows XP or
higher). A virtual desktop is a way to leverage the operating
system to provide additional screen space for applications and
windows. Each desktop has its own start bar and work area allowing
for a clean separation of applications and more managable window
space.

Version Notes |
Each desktop can be configured to have a password and specific
default programs.
In these examples/screenshots urVirtualDesktops has been
configured to have three desktops in addition to the default
instance -- Mail, Internet, and Docs. So, one can easily switch
between the desktops for division of labor -- the Mail desktop is
running a mail program, the Internet desktop is running browser
windows, and the Docs desktop has a word processor window active.
This allows for easy separation of windows and much better use of
screen space.
urVirtualDesktops requires Microsoft Windows XP.
