VDesk

Provides options for launching programs on virtual desktops. (Windows 10 only)

Windows10Interop code taken from http://stackoverflow.com/a/32417530

#####Download:

See the releases page.

#####Usage:

vdesk [n] [command [args]]

n specifies the index of the VD to launch the program on, and is optional.

If the command is omitted vdesk will launch n virtual desktops.

Generally, prepending a shortcut's 'target' field with vdesk will have it launch in its own virtual desktop. Command line arguments should be preserved.

VDesk can provide an "Open in new virtual desktop" context menu item, this can be done by running vdesk -install. To remove the context menu entries, run vdesk -uninstall.

#####Examples: To launch notepad on a new desktop:

vdesk notepad

To launch notepad on desktop 3 and open C:\some file.txt:

vdesk 3 notepad "C:\some file.txt"

To launch a new VirtualBox vm fullscreen on its own virtual desktop:

vdesk "C:\Path to Vbox\VirtualBox.exe" --comment "VM" --startvm "vm-id-no" --fullscreen
