     The problem of clogging up the desktop and, in particular, the taskbar, recurs again and again. If you have a habit of surfing the net in a dozen browser windows, at the same time writing a couple of email to your friends, talking to ICQ buddies etc., your taskbar doesn't have a chance to serve its purpose. Of course, you could dedicate more screen space to it, but it would inadvertently mean less space for your application windows. Four or five windows are just about enough to feel comfortable. You can achieve such low numbers with BossKey.
     BossKey is a tiny program that lets you create and manage virtual desktops on your system. Once you run the program and modify its settings, you can use up to ten virtual desktops, calling them up and switching among them with hotkey combinations. You can also keep a list of windows that should be shown on every virtual desktop.
     The program is free, takes up just 10 KB of your hard drive space and makes hardly any impact on the size of your available memory. Download it today and enjoy working with virtual desktops.
