Virtual Desktop



I was watching a movie the other day, where I saw a guy using four monitors on a single PC. I thought that was really cool. We all can't afford four flat panel monitors, but all aren't lost, there's an easy solution. If you use Windows XP, Microsoft includes a virtual desktop tool that simulate multiple monitors. You can have different documents on each
"screen" and then switch from one to another with the click of the mouse. To get the virtual desktop manager, go to: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/default.mspx and download it. After installation completes, right-click on the taskbar and select it from the toolbars submenu. It will then appear on the taskbar.
