This could be useful to create multiple virtual desktops a functionality only found in Unix natively.

There is a power toy for XP that can do that too I guess but it's only available for XP pro.

The CreateDesktop() API function in Windows creates multiples desktops in Windows natively.

PowerToys only work with U.S. English regional settings.

If you installed PowerToys prior to April 23, 2002, you must uninstall your old PowerToys before installing the versions available here.

I remember that it was XP Pro to begin with. I went back and read the part you quoted after I made that post. I didn't realize that it had changed.

I didn't know about CreateDesktop. That's pretty cool.
