Thanks for answering the questions, Patrick.
After evaluating the software more, I prefer the "create each desktop as a different folder" option over "create a shared folder for all desktops" because it makes desktops easier to move and manage in the filesystem/explorer. (The former option appears to "hide" icons not relevant to the current desktop from the user, as all desktop items appear in on the user's desktop when viewed in in explorer, creating one large folder containing all desktop items. Or so that is how it appears to work.) But the large drawback that forces me to use "create a shared folder for all desktops" option is the cut/copy/paste issue. I don't understand the Windows limitation you mentioned, could you explain it a bit more? (I am trying to find a workaround, if one exists.) Since Desktop 1 and Desktop 2 and Desktop 3 are all separate folders under the "create each desktop as a different folder" option, and copying and pasting works between folders typically, I am not sure what is going on behind the scenes. Actually, after looking at how the "create a shared folder for all desktops" works by "hiding" other desktop's items, I expected this "bug" to actually affect that option, and not the "create each desktop as a different folder" option!
Thanks again for the help.
