               have extremely fast switching between desktops.
               run applications on different desktops.
               keep different icons, shortcuts, and files etc. on each desktop
               there are many more very advantages in running Multi Desktop 2003 on you PC.

               Multi Desktop 2003 for Windows features two Hotkey combinations per desktop.
               With this feature, you can assign two key combinations per desktop as well as
               you any key combinations for switching.

               Multi Desktop 2003 for Windows, you can manage your workload and running programs.
               You can:

               Have a dedicated desktop for: Business Programs, Web Surfing, PC Gaming and
               Personal etc.
               This lets you dedicate a desktop for time consuming programs to run in background and
               not take your precious desk space
               As well as it gives you a lot of PRIVACY for other programs. You can switch to another
               desktop wherever needed.

               restart is required.

Overview of Multi Desk 2003    
Return to the Top

               Multi Desktop 2003 makes it possible to utilize hidden Windows capabilities.
               Multi Desktop 2003 lets you create unlimited number of Desktops (limited by the
               capabilities of your PC) Multi Desktop 2003 lets you have completely independent
               Windows Desktops (Shells). For example: one for the business applications, another
               for games, one for web surfing and one for personal and so on.
               In most Cases, when a program or a process freezes your computer you can
               Just switch to another desktop and use you're PC. Even if a Bad HDD or Network
               Time out causes the temporary Lockup!

               Multi Desktop 2003 delivers extremely fast switching between desktops.
               Multi Desktop 2003 does not simply hide open applications and windows like most
               programs but switches to a pre-loaded Explorer (Shell). For example: if a power
               demanding application like video game, graphic picture or video is running full screen on
               desktop #2 the switching time to desktop #3 will almost instant.
               (Usually, as short as switching without any applications)
