 Virtual desktop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Virtual desktop is a term used, usually within the WIMP paradigm, to describe any of several possible ways in which a computer's metaphorical desktop environment is modified, through the use of software.
The most common type of virtual desktop provides a way for the user to switch between "contexts", only one of which can be displayed on the computer's display at any given time.
In virtual desktop environments, windows of running applications, and icons can usually be moved from one virtual desktop to another by dragging and dropping with a mouse, just as files can be moved amongst folders on a single desktop.
