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.

Version: DeskSpace 1.5.6
"Great virtual desktop manager"
Pros: Program is fast, easy to use, and simple to set up.
Cons: Occasionally the desktop icons will shift a little. If you have a remote desktop session open and you switch users back and forth the remote desktop session can become off center, easy to correct by minimizing the RD window and then opening again.
Summary: I've been looking for something to replace "virtual dimension" ever since a new PC forced me to move to VISTA64 and the program started acting up. This program has held up to pretty much everything I've thrown at it. I've even been able to run it ... read more >>
