Can anybody tell me if msvdm is a program that you set up
and keep or just a temporary thing as it appears to me. I
keep setting it up, lock the taskbar can shut down and
everything will stay but if I clean up with window washer
all settings of backgrounds are lost. So I assume (I know
what your thinking) settings only exist as temporary
files. Is there any way to move settings to a permeant
folder. Or was desktop manager never ment to stay. Many
Thanks.

Hello!
This Power toy allows you to have four "desktops" loaded up so that you can
work on a spreadsheet, a presentation, and Word document, at the same time.
To access the feature, right-click on the task bar, go to Toolbar, and then
choose Desktop Manager. XP places what it calls "MSVDM" (MS Virtual Desktop
Manager) into the task bar along with a tiny four-paned grid alongside four
small buttons. Each button represents one of the desktops you've selected.
(Initial tests didn't prove successful, because the system locked up after
we loaded our desktops; a series of ctrl + alt + delete fixed the problem,
and we were able to launch the files.)


You can also set up shortcut keys for each of the views. VDM provides a
nice diversion from the ordinary Task Bar Grouping feature, even if you're
limited to four "desktops."
