CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on May 04, 2009
DeskSpace promises to help users manage their cluttered desktops by providing multiple 3D desktops to toggle through. While this sounds like a promising development, DeskSpace is one headache after another.
The program appears as an icon in the tray. A user's first instinct is to double click on a program to start it. However, here such a move takes you to a menu to help set up desktop hot keys. There are other options offering ways to customize DeskSpace. Left clicking and right clicking the tray icon presents a dropdown menu of other options. At no point did we see a 3D version of our desktop.
Further studying and a visit to the Help menu showed us how to create hot keys that supposedly bring the new desktop to the foreground. Nothing we did could make DeskSpace perform its duties.
This 14-day trial professes to offer a unique product that could help many people, but by burying it behind endless menus and shortcut keys, it winds up just frustrating. We do not recommend this download for anyone.

This software version | All versions -
Version: DeskSpace 1.5.6.3
"Great for increasing efficiency"
Pros: Works with multiple monitors, allows 6 unique desktops, and allows a great deal of customization. Recommended
Cons: Might slow down your computer if you don't have a fast processor
Summary: CNET review is very misleading. Hold down CTRL+WIN to see the 3D display of the desktops.
It takes a little getting-used-to, but in the end is worth it. - See 1 user review Write review
