:dex:,

that's not possible with Dexpot. It'll use the default desktop folder path as a basis.

Changing Windows Explorer Desktop Folder Names

Post by gbensonii » 19.04.2015 06:20:53

I have been using DEXPOT now and find it to be very useful; however, I have found one BIG irritation that I hope you can help with.

Lets say that I have 3 seperate desktops. I will pretend that they are as follows:

Desktop 1 is used for Accounting
Desktop 2 is used for Marketing
Desktop 3 is used for Research

Now, lets say that I:

1. Right click on the Dexpot Icon that is in the System Tray near the time
2. Left click on the Configure Desktops option
3. While on the Properties Tab I assign the corresponding names to each desktop
4. Click OK to save changes
5. Right click again on the Dexpot Icon that is in the System Tray near the time
6. Left click on the Accounting desktop
7. Open Windows Explorer
8. Navigate to the C:\Users\George\ folder to reveal the following sub-folders - Desktop, Desktop 2, Desktop 3

I recognize that Dexpot has created these three folders and that they are associated with each of the three desktops. However, the folder names make it difficult to know which desktop is using which folder. Is it possible to assign a different name to the folders that are associated with each virtual desktop? For instance:

"Desktop - Accounting" to be associated with the Accounting Virtual Desktop instead of the "Desktop" folder
"Desktop - Marketing" to be associated with the Marketing Virtual Desktop instead of the "Desktop 2" folder
"Desktop - Research" to be associated with the Research Virtual Desktop instead of the "Desktop 3" folder

Any help or suggestions you can offer is greatly appreciated!
