As Matt pointed out, try using VirtuaWin ( http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/ ) instead of this. It doesn’t run multiple instances of explorer.exe, only uses about 8MB of RAM on my setup, it’s highly configurable and has several plugins.

That is laughable. Microsoft, continuing its tradition of copying the competition and not implementing mainstream features for at least 5 years, copies the X window system virtual desktop feature… badly.

Of course, Microsoft never copies things well. Take a look at most the features in Vista, for example, either copied off of Mac OS X, UNIX, or Linux. And they’re all crappy copies. Now Microsoft brings us… a hack that was done better by a much better third-party developer.

This sounds really useful, I always seem to have lots of applications/files open and it can get very cluttered.

I will make sure to check it out soon.
