Chapitres :

  1. Introduction to Multiple Desktops
    The new feature in Windows enables users to add multiple desktops, which can be particularly useful for managing several projects simultaneously. This functionality allows for a more organized workspace, helping users quickly locate specific documents related to their ongoing tasks.
  2. Setting Up a Second Desktop

However, be cautious, as changing the theme will affect the entire Windows user session.
  3. Managing Documents Across Desktops

This feature allows for seamless transitions between different projects without cluttering your main workspace.
  4. Deleting Desktops
