18 Using HydraVision™ for Windows® 98SE/Windows®Me
MultiDesk
HydraVision™ software supports multiple desktops. With
MultiDesk, one active desktop will always be visible, while up to
eight active desktops can reside in the background. When MultiDesk
is running, the MultiDesk icon in the system tray displays the
number assigned to the current desktop.
NOTE: MultiDesk is installed with HydraVision™. However,
multiple desktop support and HydraVision™ can be
loaded/unloaded and operated independently of each other.
MultiDeskSystemTrayIcon
Right-click on this icon to access MultiDesk controls. In addition to
accessing active desktops from the system tray, you can also access
active desktops with a Hot key shortcut.
NOTE: Hot Keys only work if HydraVision™ is installed and
loaded.
