After the download, double-click the DeskmanPowerToySetup.exe icon and follow the instructions to install the program. Next, right-click an empty part of the taskbar and choose Toolbars, Desktop Manager. The Microsoft Virtual Desktop Manager gives you up to four desktops so you can juggle windows without all the dragging, resizing, minimizing, and maximizing. To see a map of all desktops, press Windows -V. Switch desktops by clicking one in the map or by pressing the Windows key, followed by a number from 1 to 4. To customize the shortcuts, right-click the MSVDM icon and choose Configure Shortcut Keys. You can also change desktops by right-clicking the icon and choosing Show Quick Switch Buttons.
 
To see open apps in the taskbar of each desktop, choose Shared Desktops; to select a background, choose Configure Desktop Images (see FIGURE 1); and to add dissolves and other effects as you move in the map, choose Use Animations.
