Let's imagine that you have several programs running on your computer and you need to use all of them at the same time. In this situation, your desktop can get really cluttered and it may be difficult to find a certain window in a timely manner. Buying a larger monitor is just a temporary solution, as your desktop may become cluttered again.

A more efficient solution to this problem is to install and use Actual Virtual Desktops. As its name clearly suggests, this Windows program allows you to set up several virtual desktops on your computer, which you can switch with a single mouse click. Installing Actual Virtual Desktops is not an issue, as the installation process is self-explanatory and one just needs to follow the instructions displayed on the screen.

When running the software, the first thing to do is to define the virtual desktops which will be used by the application. For this, you just need to click on the large green arrow displayed on the program's interface. An unlimited number of virtual desktops can be created and each can contain its own program windows. In order to quickly find a specific virtual desktop, you can set up a switcher, which will split your computer monitor into several areas, each displaying the thumbnail of a virtual desktop. You can customize the way thumbnails are displayed with ease.

What's more, in order to better control which applications open on a specific desktop, you can customize the programs that should be displayed on each virtual desktop. You can do this by choosing from a large software list and selecting the desired virtual desktop on which that application should be displayed. Furthermore, you can set various shortcut keys which will be used for moving from a desktop to another or for configuring a specific one. Using shortcut keys can help you save a lot of time, especially if you are working with a large number of virtual desktops.

Pros

It allows you to set up an unlimited number of virtual desktops. Besides that, you can choose which programs should be displayed on each desktop. Furthermore, you can configure shortcut keys for easily and quickly switching between virtual desktops.

Cons

The program cannot have separate desktop shortcuts for each virtual screen. Using Actual Virtual Desktops you can work faster and smarter by adding several virtual desktops to your computer.
