Virtual Desk Switch1.0.0.0

As useful as Windows virtual desktops can be, managing them can prove rather difficult, which is an issue when you are trying to work as efficiently as possible.Virtual Desk Switch is an open-source program designed to make your life a bit easier. It enables you to switch between virtual desktops with a single mouse click, keep track of the active one and quickly create or remove desktops.

Save time when working with virtual desktops

In order to switch to another virtual desktop, you normally have to either access Task View or use the Win+Ctrl+Left or Right arrow hotkey. For many users, however, these methods are not particularly convenient.Virtual Desk Switch provides you with an alternative. Once launched, you can move to the next virtual desktop by just clicking the tray icon, as well as select a specific desktop from the tray menu.What’s more, the program also lets you create additional virtual desktops or remove any of the existing ones directly from the tray menu.

Keep track of which virtual desktop is active

As you can see in the screenshots, the application’s tray icon indicates which of your virtual desktops is currently selected, so you will no longer have to bring up Task View just to check.A notification is also displayed on your screen whenever you switch to a different virtual desktop, and you can specify how long it should be shown for. However, it does not seem to be possible to disable it.

Can be used with or without installation

Virtual Desk Switch can be run without going through a setup process, making deployment very straightforward. However, you can go through the extra step of installing it in order to create shortcuts in the Start menu and on the Desktop.On the whole, this utility should prove to be very helpful for users who often switch between multiple virtual desktops. It is very easy to set up and unobtrusive, and it can save you a lot of time and effort.
