 Choose the option “Complete” for installing.


It will be installed in a very little time. Right click on the taskbar at the bottom of your screen.

Point to Toolbars. You will now see the new option called Desktop Manager.

Click on Desktop Manager


The desktop manager toolbar will appear:


Every blue button represents a unique desktop. The green button can be used to preview the four virtual desktops.

Right-click on one of the buttons to see the options for configuration.


Done!!!!

You just have to click on any of the desktops in the preview screen in order to get that desktop in the front. Virtual desktops can prove to be very useful if you want to divide your recreational applications and your work applications.
