I understand how to create a virtual folder but I cannot seem to be able to create virtual desktops. Can any more experienced users offer help?

1) Download and install Virtual Desktops plugin from this page: http://www.truelaunchbar.com/plugins/
2) Right-click on True Launch Bar point New and select Virtual Desktop
3) Enter name of button
4) Set properties

And use Virtual Desktops Wink

Thanks for your help. But now I seem to have a problem with accessing the virtual desktops. When I try to change from one desktop to another the mouse disappears and I cannot navigate. Do you think this a problem with the plugin or with my computer, or maybe I have not set the desktops up correctly? Any suggestions?

Please tell your Windows version.

Similar bug:

If you use the "Show desktop" icon in Windows Qick Launch, and then switch desktop in TLB, everything will be hidden; all icons, all programs, taskbar, ... everything but the mouse pointer.

You can press Ctrl+Alt+Del and choose Task Manager to show the taskbar again, if you try this.

Windows 2000, sp 3.

You must be using a program to use skinned mouse on winXP like CursorXP, you have to turn it off to use Virtual Desktops for now, also happens with VD manager included with NVIDIA cards.

Great. I disabled Cursor XP and am now able to successfully create and use the virtual desktop. Thanx.
