Spread your work across multiple desktops -- one for email, one for research, one for whatever else you have going -- and each desktop keeps its own set of open windows. Less clutter, easier navigation.Here are the shortcuts to get started:Windows key + Ctrl + Create a new virtual desktop. Windows key + Ctrl + Right arrow: Move to the next desktop. Windows key + Ctrl + Left arrow: Move to the previous desktop. Windows key + Ctrl + F4: Close the current desktop.Press Windows key + Tab to open Task View, where you can see all your desktops and running apps at once. From there, press Shift + F10 on any running app to get the option to move it to a different desktop.Not a BITS member yet?

“Did you know you can customize VoiceOver gestures on your iPhone to work the way you do? Head to Settings, then Accessibility, then VoiceOver, then Commands.
