Thanks to GiveAwayOfTheDay, I am using AltDesk from www.astonshell.com. Works quite fine, no major bug encountered so far. |

I'd like to take the opportunity to rave about a little-known virtual desktop program, Enable Virtual Desktop. It's not free, but it's only $20, and it has better features and usability than any other I've seen. It supports dual monitors, wallpapers, keyboard bindings, wallpapers, systray icons or not, and a "mini-window" of all your desks in which you can move windows from desk to desk. I really love it. |

Can any of virtual desktops save opened apps as a session to be restored later?

Not EVD, no... It does however have "window rules" by which you can specify which virtual desk an application opens up in, etc.

Wow, I have been looking for this for quite some time. I have looked at Dexpot many times as that is the closest to what I am looking for that most people recommend, yet (and I can't say exactly why), it never seems to work out for me. I have tried most that were talked about here, but the two pay ones mentioned, EVD and GoScreen are new to me. I must check them out now  What I am looking for is like Mouser said - what is in Linux (though my experience is from much later that the cli mouser spoke of). Gnome desktop has an extrodinary virtual desktop. I am looking for the same experience. GoScreen and EVD appear to offer that. Thans for bringing this up again... |

- I am a little surprised to read how harsh they spoke about 360desktop. I mean, one would think a coder's forum would give a first public beta version a longer line, but they said they tested for less than a minute! I didn't download it myself yesterday, because I couldn't see the point in the very concept, but now I will have to, I must, test and see if it really performs that bad...  |

- I didn't make it very far, though. At the very beginning of installation, before any window had yet appeared, my Firewall (Outpost Pro) asked if I would allow the installation to change my registry! I clicked No, and aborted the procedure. How can it write to registry before asking IF or WHERE I would like to install? Now I understand why some were speaking harshly of this: they were offended, like I am! I won't try it out, either, but of course I too am then unable to speak about it's performance...  |

Curt: looks like it's part of the WISE installation system - and my guess is that it writes to the "Run" key, in order to be able to clean up temporary files after a windows reboot. Perhaps not the smartest way of handling things, but the company to blame would be the WISE guys (huhu), not the 360desktop people.
That's my guess, anyway.

I just tried 360desktop out and there is nothing wrong with it except that it doesn't move my windows like it's supposed to.  |
