In such a way switching between desktops means switching between tasks. Actual Virtual Desktops makes it possible to see applications' windows needed for accomplishing the required task. Need to solve another task - simply switch to another virtual desktop with the already prepared windows for it. Never minimize any of the applications, never close any of them. When you switch virtual desktops, all running Windows programs just disappear from the screen and from the taskbar, but they are right there waiting when you switch back to a separate screen.

What does it do for me? Create a copy of a complete folder structure. A new destination name is created automatically by adding the date and time. This way you may backup a complete folder easily with just one click, and at the same time keep several versions of the same folder. The idea is that you want to copy a folder that contains, for example, a range of documents, everytime before you make any changes whatsoever. If a problem occures just delete the original folder and restore one of the backup versions. Create a shortcut that you can access with one click to create multiple backups of your most important files. Tag:
