Can someone please recommend any good free virtual desktop programmes?
Something like they use in Linux Mandrake?

Thanks

You can get it as part of WinXP powertoys.

Don't see how this is a virtual desktop?

I've tried most of them and I like Vern the best. It's very
configurable and works. You might check it out..

I use the LiteStep shell:

http://litestep.net (registration required but takes just a few minutes)

IT can also do lots of other things, just pick a theme for it.

Yep, long live Vern... It's the only one I found that sets the focus
properly when you change desktops.. It's great..

Indeed, I also recommend this installer for litestep; IMO, an
excellent way to install litestep for those what are new to
the shell:

It appears that Vern is shareware and thus is not freeware.

Yes, technically Vern is shareware...

The bb4win family of shells (bb4win, bblean [best],xbolite) has a virtual
desktop manager plugin. More accessible than litestep and easier to get up
and running. But if you haven't used an alternate shell, there'll be a
learning curve. Well worth it, though, IMO.

I have not liked bb4win too much. I like a taskbar that
1. does not overlap windows
2. is always visible

And for me, I had to do some changes to 'blackbox.rc' to set path names (my
Windows is in Portuguese).

+1 for LiteStep.

I use it with the RabidVWM module, which provides me the virtual
desktops with all the features I need.

Besides, if you can't find a theme that fits your taste, it's not
too difficult to make your own theme.

Maybe it's been awhile since you tried it? You can certainly have 1 and 2
nowadays. Check out the desktops at

It's up to you as to what plugins you want to install and configure.

After trying many such programs, this one work best, IMO.

Yes sorry, thought it said remote desktop for some reason...
