Just installed PowerToys Virtual Desktop Manager and have a very basic
query please. First and only step I've taken so far is to change the
desktop background for each of the 4 views. But as soon as I switch
between views, the default background returns! What have I missed
please?

Sorted a few minutes later. It seems for some reason that the normal
method of assigning desktop properties doesn't 'stick'. But r-clicking
the MSVDM icon and using 'Configure Desktop Images' works.

I found dexpot to be much better!

You can even have different icons on the different desktops. Requires that
you set it up correctly of course.
