Unlike other virtual desktop utilities that implement their desktops byshowing the windows that are active on a desktop and hiding the rest,Sysinternals Desktops uses a Windows desktop object for each desktop.Application windows are bound to a desktop object when they are created,so Windows maintains the connection between windows and desktops andknows which ones to show when you switch a desktop. That makingSysinternals Desktops very lightweight and free from bugs that the otherapproach is prone to where their view of active windows becomesinconsistent with the visible windows.

Desktops reliance on Windows desktop objects means that it cannotprovide some of the functionality of other virtual desktop utilities,however. For example, Windows doesn't provide a way to move a windowfrom one desktop object to another, and because a separate Explorerprocess must run on each desktop to provide a taskbar and start menu,most tray applications are only visible on the first desktop. Further,there is no way to delete a desktop object, so Desktops does not providea way to close a desktop, because that would result in orphaned windowsand processes. The recommended way to exit Desktops is therefore tologoff.
