They allow the user to run multiple desktops simultaneously  from any laptop or desktop computer, which you can switch between at the  touch of a button. Each of these desktops can have its own background  and have its own applications loaded. I like to use it as an easy way to separate my business applications  from my leisure ones. It doesn't come standard in XP, but there is some  perfectly safe and easy to use software out there that will give you up  to 4 desktops to work with. First, go to the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx" target="_blank">Microsoft  PowerToys download page</a>, and select DeskMan.exe from the  right side of the screen (the file it actually downloads will be called  DeskmanPowertoySetup.exe). <img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/clip_image002.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  Then double click the file and select "Complete" install. It usually  doesn't take very long. <img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/clip_image004.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Now it's installed, so let's test it. Go to the bottom of the screen and  right click on the taskbar, then select toolbars. You'll see there's  now an option for Desktop Manager. Click it. <img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/clip_image006.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> This brings up the desktop manager toolbar, which integrates with your  taskbar and looks like this: <img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/clip_image008.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> You guessed it, each one of those four buttons corresponds to a  different desktop. The green button on the left pulls up a view that  previews all four and allows you to select between them. Right clicking  on any of the buttons brings up some options to set different  backgrounds for each desktop, or to assign shortcut keys for easy  access. <img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/clip_image010.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> And just like that… <img src="http://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/clip_image012.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> You've got four desktops! Simply click on any of the  desktops in the preview screen above to bring that one to the front.  (Note there is also a way to get virtual desktops in Windows Vista, but  that's another article.)<a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx" target="_blank">Download Virtual  Desktop Manager from microsoft.com</a></blockquote>
