Is it possible to have multiple desktops ?

[gregg]

I create shortcuts quite often to access many files, folders & programs.

Therefore I have too many icons on my desktops & not enough space for them.

Is there a way to create multiple desktops or a software that would create multiple desktops ?

What are other solutions to this problem ?

Thanks

There is a "Virtual Desktop Manager" Powertoy which does multiple desktops.

Another couple of options are:

Delete icons you don't use.

Organize your icons into folders.

Set your resolution higher so that you have more space for icons.

i find that the more icons on the desktop the slower windows loads

Well sure. It just gives Windows that many more graphic files to load at startup. More data = slower load time.

1. You could put your monitor on the highest setting.
2. You could use multiple windows accounts...although this could be somewhat of a pain.
3. You don't really need all that on your desktop...what about the start menu?
