Portable VirtuaWin

While it is not always advisable to keep large numbers of icons on the desktop as the system runs slower than usual, you can better organize the screen by creating virtual desktops.

Portable VirtuaWin is a small tool that was designed to create several virtual desktops. The app has a simple interface that proved to be quite easy to handle.

The program lets you create up to nine different desktops. You may customize these to the smallest details. For instance, they can be named and their layout configured.

Hotkeys can be set for all the desktops. For instance, you can press a key combination to move left, right, up or down, to return to the previous desktop or to go to the next one. While some hotkeys are already in place, they can easily be modified to suit your needs.

It’s also possible to change the desktop with the help of the mouse, by simply dragging the edge.

Some advanced features are available as well. For instance, the program’s icon can be hidden from view and the minimized windows hidden when the desktop changes.

Since the app is portable, it doesn’t need to be installed to the computer and can be launched from removable devices, such as flash drives.

Portable VirtuaWin is a nice tool that can come in handy if you want to expand the abilities of your computer. Less experienced users should find this app easy to work with, thanks to the intuitive layout.
