Multiple desktops?
I want a 2nd and a 3rd to store icons from previous backups.
But these extra desktops do not show up in File Explorer. How are they to be accessed ? |

Multiple Windows 10 desktops are extra places to put open windows. They are not extra places to store icons or other files. All your Windows 10 desktops share a single desktop folder in File Explorer. |

Thanks, I just want to store the desktop icons of past systems, mainly to remember the names of some rare apps I used in the past. The name of a particular fast and effective duplicate image finder & remover still eludes me. |

Perhaps a hack, but it's rather easy to add an extra folder to your Programs folder and hide [1] that folder. So it's there, but out of sight. When you want to access your old desktop icons (read Shortcuts), you just do: Programs - right-click - Open and your hidden folder will be shown (assuming you have set 'Show hidden files, folders and drives' in File Explorer). [1] Right-click on folder - Properties - tick 'Hidden'. |

I have mine set up 2x2 and I get to the others just by moving my mouse to an edge. I like having several programs set up all the time so I can just move over to them without disrupting the others. Back in one of the previous windows versions there was a 'toy' (I think) that did something like that, but you had to click on the grid down at the bottom of the screen to move among them. Is this what you told him how to do? I don't use windows7 much any more, and never win10. -- Cheers, Bev Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely and in a well preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out, and shouting HOLY ****, WHAT A RIDE!!! |

I think something very similar works in Win-10-nic but I forget the actual key combination - maybe ctrl+alt+pgup/down ? |
