ghacks.net

Ghacks.net is a technology blog that started in 2005, around the same time that DonationCoder got started. Although it covers a diverse set of technology topics, it has been one of the reliably excellent blogs for discovering and keeping up to date on Microsoft Windows applications. Martin, who runs ghacks, has always taken a keen interest in the events and software we make here at DonationCoder, and we're proud to call ghacks a friend.

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.
