Expand your Desktop using virtual Desktops

One of the most useful features in Windows 10 is the ability to create and switch between multiple ‘virtual’ Desktops. Not only does this prevent your main Desktop from becoming crowded with icons and windows but, because there’s no limit on the number of Desktops, you can increase your screen space two-fold, ten-fold or even a hundred-fold (although that might get confusing). If you’re very organised, you could give each Desktop a different purpose, so you have one for work, another for editing photos, one for web browsing and so on.

To create a virtual Desktop in Windows 10, click the Task View button on the taskbar and select ‘Add a desktop’. To switch between Desktops, press Ctrl+Windows key and the left or right arrow key; to move programs from one Desktop to another, right-click them and choose ‘Move to [Desktop number]’. If you close a Desktop containing open programs, they’ll be transferred to the next Desktop on the left.

You can add virtual Desktops in older versions of Windows using the free tool Dexpot (dexpot.de). This lets you switch between multiple Desktops from your taskbar, drag and drop items from one Desktop to another and permanently bind programs to a specific Desktop, along with many other useful features.
