This program works well. It's easy to set up and use. With it I extend my laptop's desktop to another virtual screen. The bug I refer to is: when you select the option to remove icons from one of the desktop, the wallpaper turns black on both desktops. This happens on w2000 and wxp. If they overcome this issue, they'll be on easy street.

At first, I didn't check the 'start with Windows' button, assuming this would be possible in any sensible options menu. DD looked good and worked well, so I thought, 'yeah, start with Windows'. No option to change this in the options (tsk tsk), so uninstall and reinstall, this time checking the button on install. Except that on uninstall all my previously hidden desktop icons reappeared, and wouldn't go away. Even when I had reinstalled and checked the 'hide desktop icons' option - and this made all the icon text backgrounds black, and the normal desktop option to hide the icons was grayed out! Nightmare! By this time I was extremely fed up with Double Desktop. Thank Microsoft for System Restore! Oh well, Double Desktop will work fine for you if you have a standard boring unmodified Windows desktop.
