    Multiple desktops, different icons


    Hello

    So, I know how to use multiple desktops.

    Does anyone know a way to make it so that for example, Desktop 2 shows no Desktop Icons whereas Desktop 1 will show Desktop Icons? I can accept using 3rd-party software to make this work.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Why was this moved? The type of multiple desktops I am talking about is not called virtualization at all

    At least .. I didn't think so?

    !I am using it. After changing a couple of settings, it works.

    How did you know about that software? Do you use it yourself?

    I have used it in the past, now I just have more monitors!
    It hasn't been updated since 2014 but, it works just fine!
