DesktopPlus allows you to more effectively organize your Windows Desktop by splitting it up into upto 9 'Virtual' Desktops. A Virtual Desktop is like an independent copy of your standard Windows desktop. Each Virtual Desktop can have its own Applications (Windows), Desktop Icons (Shortcuts), Wallpaper, Resolution and Frequency settings. DesktopPlus can be configured to automatically start your favourite applications on the correct Virtual Desktop. You can switch between Virtual Desktops using a HotKey combination (e.g. CTRL-1 for Desktop1, CTRL-2 for Desktop2, etc), using the optional floating toolbar or the option tray icons. Windows can be moved between destops using HotKey combinations (e.g. CTRL-SHIFT-1 to move the current window to Desktop 1) or by using the Drag'N'Drop interface of the Arrange window. The same Drag'N'Drop interface can also be used to move icons between desktops.
