WindowsPager is not a new tool, but the latest update brings seamless integration to Windows 7. It is an opensource portable pager utility for Windows that creates four virtual desktops(also called virtual workspaces).
It integrates perfectly in the Windows 7 taskbar(also called superbar) with complete preview of apps running in virtual desktops. Clicking each icon will take you to it’s respective virtual desktop.
Apart from switching the desktops by clicking the icons in the taskbar, you can also switch by right-clicking any Windows title bar and selecting the virtual desktops.
You will be surprised to know that the preview of virtual desktops in the taskbar is live, which means that you will see which windows are open in each desktop and where they are positioned. To test this feature hold any window and move it around the desktop, watching the preview in the taskbar.
It works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. You will find executables for both 32-bit and 64-bit OS inside the zip archive. It is a portable tool which weights around 500Kb only and can run straight from the USB drive. Enjoy!

It may work for you but when I tried it, it ‘blacked out’ all active apps on my Taskbar. I recommend either VirtuaWin or Dexpot instead.

This product works great although I doubt they will read this review one thing I personally would like is mobility integrated into the software, for someone like me whom customizes desktops it is nice to be able to move the software and customize where it is.

this version of virtual desktop manager is CRAP. It does not work and now I’m trying to delete the program, it will not uninstall. Advise everybody to try the proper Microsoft program.

This is the virtual desktop app I was looking for but didn’t know it :). I’ve tried them all and find WindowsPager to be perfect for my needs. With 4 big boxes I can see exactly whats running and where (what box). I can move running apps over to another box with ease either by drag and drop and by right clicking on the app title bar and selecting the virtual desktop. This app is simple and productive once your used to it. Its a keeper and I thank you…Dave
