What I meant is that you're worried about desktop clutter, right?
Then how about
multiple desktops? I mean that different desktops for different functions and environments. DesktopX is probably the same thing, but it's like more suited towards widgets/objects than virtual desktops.
I'm sure you know about Mac OS X's Spaces feature, which allows for more than one desktop. And you can switch desktops through the mouse and keyboard.
And you can have, suppose, an Internet Explorer window in one desktop, a Photoshop and MS Paint window in the other and a media player in the third, and a folder in the fourth.
And when you're in the first desktop, you've got only IE open to browse the internet. Suppose you want to switch to the media player in the third desktop, but you can't see it in your current one because it's an entirely different interface. You switch to that desktop and see only the media player.
That was just an example above. What you do with more than one desktop is reduce clutter.
My idea was that if you want different sets of buttons, like a media set to contain your radio station links and watch DVDS, your web set to contain your internet links,etc and you think your desktop might run out of space because of a billion buttons, you should try some sort of virtual, multiple desktops.
So then you can have more than one desktop. In one you'll have your media player, or radio station open, and it will have the buttons you need for media.
In the other you'll have the web browser icon, your email, etc, and all the web windows will open in that window, and so on.
I'm not sure how this is possible in Windows so there's no clear cut way to get this. If someone knows something I've missed,they might correct that.
I am not sure I understand the difference between a virtual desktop and desktopx. Where do I get virtual desktops?
There are many ways to do that, but I don't use them, so I can't recommend any particular one.
Try the
Microsoft Powertoy for virtual desktops [third to last option] or try
VirtuaWin...
