Virtual Desktop

lwlee · May 29, 2006

I'm always running out of space. Up to 3 19" LCDs now but still could use more screen real estate. I've been researching virtual desktops for XP.

Anyone got a favorite?

Well, I found PowerToys has a virtual desktop tool.

PowerToys

Not sure if it's the best one available but it couldn't be too bad since it's from Microsoft.

I've been using goScreen for ages - it does what it is intended to do & is reliable. I haven't used others so can't compare.

I saw goScreen on download.com. Will give it a try.

It should be able to work well with QuoteTracker. Too bad QT doesn't handle sets of charts better.

Thanks. I'm one step ahead. I have ATI and it has something called Hydravision. Downloading it now...

Hydravision easy to use & a great program to have on your PC . You can have a 36screen (lay-out) off 4 screen's..
