 Marbel: Imho, the best virtual desktop software for Windows. I've tried many. [2008-11-02 12:57]

 gp_hbk: Definitely the most feature-balanced virtual desktop app for Windows. I started on virtual desktops with this app.

I still prefer the simplicity of Yod'm 3D. I never seemed to use more than 3 of the desktops of the 9 I had set up in Dexpot. [2008-11-04 10:22]

 a: Free professional quality desktop manager. That's Dexpot. I've been using it for years. Glad to see they've finally made it portable. [2008-11-12 07:08]

 Chaim: Excellent Program.
Great that its portable and even better that its free.
You can't get a desktop manager better than this for free.
Besides it only uses 12mb of process where Yod'm 3D uses around 30.
This program is also stuffed packed with features.
For example Yod'm 3D allows you to have seperate icons and wallpapers. Besides being extremely buggy if one wants to display 3 out of 20 desktop icons only on one desktop he must uncheck the 17 he does not want manually. With Dexpot all the desktops besides one are empty and icons created on one desktop stick to that desktop.
Dexpot provides tons more ways of switching desktops.
Even though i don't think i will stick with this program because I don't need to use a desktop manager I highly recommend this program to any one he does.

Fantastic Work :) [2009-01-18 12:21]

 MAW of OK: I just downloaded & installed v1.4.2. It's in English for me. I didn't have to change Sprache to Einstellungen. [2009-05-28 18:18]

 GD: If you look in the dexpot website, you'll find a portable version of the app to run from USB.

 AA: Help! I've downloaded Dexpot but can't figure out what to do next. A Dexpot window opens, then disappears. The little German I know isn't getting me anywhere. I can't find an .exe file anywhere, either. Thanks. [2009-07-02 15:12]

 mozkill: Now , if I could flip between my actual computer and another desktop on another system, that would be "something" worth having... [2009-10-14 20:29]

 gdanonym: No this app is not working properly. When switching sometimes moving apps to the other desktop. When it completely stops working and shutdown, non visible apps are missing and you have to reboot completely.
After a view year working with this, and upgrading to latest softwareversion, real problems occur.
Even a backup of the old settings is giving problems now.

So looking for replacement app now. [2010-05-19 07:59]

 portFreeUser: It's a nice program, but it's CPU use goes a bit higher than would be nice for people running digital audio workstations. Most users should find it acceptable and useful, however. [2010-05-27 16:58]

 PS: Installed fine but when changing some setting it crashes my PC worse than any other program ever managed to... pity, but does not work for my XP64. [2010-05-29 16:09]

 wolssiloa: excellent and FREE program. Best of all there's a x64 version! [2010-06-04 15:10]

 Paul: Excellent app. Have used versions of it for years without any problems.

- mozkill,start a vnc session in full screen in one window and you have what you're looking for. As long as the other pc isn't using the same keyboard shortcuts you can switch back and forth no problem. [2010-06-04 20:45]

 TJ: Just found this here on pfw, AMAZING, great 3D effects and very light. For anyone that does any actual work on a PC there is zero reason to not run this app. Especially great for those of us who walk the line between programmer and designer. [2010-06-05 03:44]

If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
