Virtual Desktops...

Are there any free virtual desktop programs that allow
me to alt-tab between desktops and force programs to
open on a specific desktop?

YOu either misunderstand or you are wayyyy off base. Virtual desktops
allow you to expand you screen virtually to allow different proggies on
different screens. The best will also allow different resolutions.
great for testing web pages and art on various screen sizes and
resolutions.

I have a freebie (at home) that I have used on occaision, but since I am
at work, I cannot remember the name. It was rather small. one EXE and
one DLL. I think it ran a small pink / purple square on your desktop
showing the 4 virtual desks.

Dexpot allows you to create multiple, virtual desktops to increase the
work area of your screen by up to 20 times. Each virtual desktop is
independent from the others and can have its individual wallpaper,
resolution, and icons (or no icons at all). You can easily switch
between desktops from the tray icon, or via hotkey, or even use an
automatic desktop slideshow that rotates all virtual desktops. In
addition, you can move and copy windows from one desktop to another
among the desktops, set up rules to automatically move, copy or close
windows and more. Dexpot is one of the most advanced desktop managers
out there, that is easy enough for beginners, but offers some great
flexibility for more demanding users as well.

It is pretty good as freeware goes. I have even compiled it and fixed
some bugs in it and added Win key support and added a few misc things
to it.
