Tabbed Virtual Desktops

Recently I had to work on multiple windows(around 50 widows) at a time for a longer period. I was tried of pressing Alt+Tab and confused with multiple windows. Even windows grouping didnt help me. After googling i found these free tools which are really helpful.

WinTabber

Do you get frustrated trying to find the right window on your desktop, or with alt-tab but they all look the same? WinTabber may be the answer ....

WinTabber can add tabs to many windows. A tabbed browser ,tabbed putty , tabbed terminal or tabbed shell, tabbed anything. Multi tab your windows in seconds. A terminal or shell with tabs work faster and efficiently! Having multiple windows as tabs will give a better overview of your windows than before. Also having multiple ssh sessions by the click of a tab works faster and efficiently.


Virtual Desktop Manager
Manage up to four desktops from the Windows taskbar with this PowerToy.

VirtuaWin is a virtual desktop manager for the Windows operating system (Win9x/ME/NT/Win2K/XP). A virtual desktop manager lets you organize applications over several virtual desktops (also called 'workspaces'). Virtual desktops are very common in Unix/Linux, and once you get accustomed to using them, they become an essential part of a productive workflow.
