I had a project due for school which required for me to screenshot about 200 screens.
Using Window's snipping tool was a nightmare. I came across this website and found "Screenshot Captor". All the options available with this program brought a smile to my face. I was able to get everything done with such ease! Donationcoder.com, you made my day. Thank you!!

VDesktops

It's a simple virtual desktop manager. Almost as simple as it gets!
It is limited to 4 virtual desktops: 3 "normal" virtual desktops and one (named as 0) where all the windows appear.

It is mostly hotkey based, although it has a minimalist gui too.
The hotkeys are defined as follows:
windows + 0: show desktop 0
windows + 1 / 2 / 3: show corresponding desktop
windows + left / right: show next desktop
windows + shift + 1 / 2 / 3: add window to that desktop
windows + c: show the "changer", which allows you to change desktops using only the mouse.

Now... Why did i make it? 2 reasons:

low memory usage (about 3mb)
It's a script!

This program being a script means i (and anyone else) can change it to suit my own needs! Of course, source code in AHK is in the zip package. I only ask for recognition if you decide to change it and distribute it.
