It complained that I shut it down improperly last time. I guess I should peruse the help. I didn't want *leaving* to be harder. hmmm… apparently there is a “right” way to exit VirtuaWin.

It's still there. It didn't keep the alt-tab list down to the current desktop, didn't have the good navigation features, didn't have "sticky" -- lots of deficiencies. This one is free, open-source, and very nifty. I tried the other one last time I was complaining about the lack of multi-desktop. Ahhh, source forge and the develolper community save us again! Now we need a decent command-line window more like Xterm (or gnome/kde versions) and less like that doggy poo that Microsoft built to run "command.com" in. . Yes and it stunk. It’s still there.

You pop open window for real fast and say... oh just going over this doc. LOL! Windows used to have a power toy that did this. I cant find it anymore though.
