Sysinternal Desktop has drawbacks

I'm serious! Sysinternal Desktop has drawbacks. There are pitfalls in some area of it. (Remember my second last post about multiple workspaces. How to work effectively with your laptop.)

What is obvious is that I cannot use mouse scroller wheel after second workspace. My Download Accelator Plus cannot trigger download window when I want to download files. These are among problems I encountered.


Anyway I found other alternative. Now I use Dexpot. What is best about it is that I can configure the look of every workspaces. The workspace can go up to 12 workspaces. Wow! Amazing! I can move the opened application between workspaces. What else hmmm..... No problems encountered at all with other applications.

I'm sorry I'm not here condemn Sysinternal Desktop but it is the truth. As a end-user it is my right to inform and perhaps Sysinternal Desktop team will solve this issue fast. Nevertheless, Sysinternal Desktop by far is lighter than Dexpot. It doesn't have to be installed on your harddrives. Download the zip file, extract and your ready to go. What do you expect from it. Small car small load lah...

Good luck and try yourself.

How to work effectively with your laptop


Sometimes when we are working with our laptops we often hope that it can display all open applications within the 14 inch screen. You know it is always in our wildest dream. However, I found a way how to work effectively with your laptop.

If you ever been working with Unix or Linux, you might be noticing both of the OS's capability of having multiple workspaces. Workspaces, it is like the tab to access different worksheet in your favourite spreadsheet software. Therefore you can breakdown each different workspaces with different functions such as workspace one for work, workspace two for surfing and so forth.

Sysinternals Desktop...have you ever heard about it? What this thing can do to you is that it creates multiple windows workspaces for you. Switching to other workspaces is a no brainer. Simply press Alt+1 to switch to workspace 1, Alt+2 to switch to workspace 2 and so on. However, the switching key can be configured to what key you desire.

By using this software it can make you work more organize in the sense that you can use different workspaces for different functions. You may want to load email apps and office apps on workspace 1 or perhaps browser at workspace 2. This will reduce thrashing your screen with a lot of apps windows which ends up you look for what you want to work next for minutes. That is poor cost of productivity.

Trust me! I feel more organized and productive now after using the software. I can easily switch to different workspace to work on something in no time. I can easily switch to my office work workspace easily if happened that my boss suddenly walk pass by my cubical. Therefore, making him an assumption that I am working not browsing....:) Work smart huh.

It is up to you whether to use this as a tool to work productively or to work cheatingly...Bottomline is I found out this is how you want to work effectively with your laptop.
