Desktop Question
Permalink Closed

I am a registered user for a few days now. I have not had any problems to speak of. I was wondering if it is possible to run a program like goscreen in two desktops. One desktop would be logged in as some other user. If you do not know what goscreen is, it's a Virtual Desktop Manager.

Thanks

First of all, if you're currently testing virtual desktop managers or if you want to find the best one for you, you can get a complete (?) list by going there http://www.download.com/Virtual-Desktop-Managers/3150-2346_4-0.html


What we understand is that GoScreen creates desktops just like Virtual Desktop Toolbox creates its virtual desktops; virtual desktops (or GoScreen desktops) are created within the default desktop and windows are hidden/displayed depending on the virtual desktop used.


If what we understood is correct, GoScreen can be executed within a VDT (non virtual) desktop, like any other program. We never tested, but this should work properly. Moreover, if you want to automatically execute the Windows explorer within a VDT (non virtual) desktop (to get a standard look), go there http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=38157&subForumID=78042&action=viewTopic&commentID=1158921&topicPage

Yes, I am *very* familar with many VDM's and IMO, goscreen is the best.

Your description of how goscreen works is correct. I will have to try it a few desktops see how it works.

Btw, the removal of the link to the goscreen site is a surprise. The link was meant as a means for *you* to test my question yourself. Now, I have to ask: Are you against *all* links to any products or just those that are to other VDM product sites? I think you may need to post a "rules" item so that we know what is expected. Sorry about breaking this "rule".

Thanks.
