Windows Pager creates Linux-like virtual desktops in Windows

Filed under: Utilities, Windows, Open Source

There are plenty of applications that will let Windows users work in virtual desktops. And Windows Pager is one of them. But it has a few nice features that make it worth checking out. First of all, like Desktops and VirtuaWin, Windows Pager lets you create several virtual desktops, which lets you open and arrange programs in different workspaces and then flip back and forth between them as needed.

Windows Pager also creates 4 little icons in the Windows taskbar that indicate what’s going on in each desktop. You can right click on the edge of any program window or on the taskbar icon for a program to move it from one desktop to another or to mark it as something that should be visible in each workspace.

The open source program can be run as an executable file (no installation necessary), which means you can throw it on a USB flash drive and use it on any computer. It also weighs in at just over 500KB, so it won’t take up much space at all on that flash drive.

The download link for Windows Pager wasn’t working when I tried it this afternoon, so you may want to download the app from Download.com instead.
