multiple copies

Post by scorp589 »

Is there a way to have multiple copies of desktop open on the same computer. I want to check something in another project, and have to save and close the current project to access the other. For example I can have multiple copies open in MS Publisher to move items back and forth. Thanks Norm

With VCarve Pro, I just double click the icon another time. I may have to drag the new window off of the previous one. I often open two copies so I can copy and paste to a new project.

You can have multiple copies open. I do it constantly, in fact I have seven Aspire instances (VCarve is the same) running now.

Each one opens as a completely separate application rather than multiple documents within one as some other programs do.

And another thing, "ALT-TAB" in Windows is your friend here. Use that key combo to switch back and forth between the sessions (or other open apps) that you have running.
