Visit Dexpot

Dexpot is a Windows utility that creates supplemental work spaces for windows and icons, allowing users to switch between them with a keystroke or mouse action. It is designed to reduce desktop clutter, support work with many applications, and organize applications into separate work areas.

The software includes a Desktop Manager, Desktop Preview, DexControl, Dexgrid, Taskbar Pager, Desktop Slideshow, and Desktop Rules with regular expression support. It offers hotkeys, hot corners, dynamic taskbar reordering, window gathering, tray icon sets, and touch support for DexControl and the Leap Motion Controller. Plugins are available, and updates can be installed through the Dexpot Updater.

Dexpot is intended for both beginners and advanced users, with extensive customization options. It is free for private use, and a Pro edition is available for purchase.
