ExeDesk is a skinable (theme enabled) virtual desktop manager that replaces standard Windows desktop. There is up to nine desktops, each with its own user-defined content. Windows opened on each desktop can be simply moved to other desktop using drag & drop (or can be made sticky and thus visible on all desktops). The program features multiple object types (icons, buttons, frames, text, etc.), menus, tool windows and more. The program is fully customizable. The program supports drag & drop and is easy to use.

Professional edition only: Theme creation/editing, desktop password protection, screen resolution per desktop , better color control.

    Reviewing 0.9.0 Beta (Aug 26, 2004)

    Based on a little while playing around with the beta, it seems like a decent vwm with a couple extra options. If you're running explorer, some of the options seem a bit redundant (such as a quicklaunch for each desktop, sure it DOES adds some organization).

    The desktop itself could use more customization support , images other than .bmp, transparent background (such that it keeps your original wallpaper in view).

    I do like the drag-and-drop, but that should be a standard feature of a program like this.

    As a GeoShell user, I can see this being useful if it allowed for more customization and had a smaller memory footprint (13mb? that's more than my shell, I don't need a desktop with vwm that bad, call me stingy)

    I imagine in future releases, however, this program will improve and become more useful.
