Sinaps Comfort lets you view and interact with the Windows Desktop at any moment.
Windows Desktop appears when you move the mouse pointer at the top of the screen and lets you perform all basic operations with the desktop icons.
Quick Start: How it works...
Description (lyrical)
When operating a computer, I usually open a variety of programs. And the file I need often turns out to be somewhere on the desktop under all the open windows. There is a standard shortcut in Windows to minimize all the currently open windows to reach the desktop. However: Try to minimize all the windows and open, let us say, the calculator, and then restore all the windows. Did it? No, all the windows remain minimized. This is not quite handy, is it? We need to restore the ones we need, having found their icons in the Windows task bar. How many seconds pass by? And how many times a day do you perform this? Per year?
Sinaps Comfort helps me to avoid such no recoverable losses. Once launched, it quietly waits for the moment when I need to see the desktop from under all the open window layers and launch a program or open the file I need from it. I just move the mouse pointer at the top of the screen and voila!
All program windows become semi-transparent and I see my desktop through a romantic haze. That's it! Any shortcut is available and is only waiting for the mouse pointer! Need something else? The mouse upwards once again, and one more time, as if it were an Oriental fairytale, the desktop is seen through a lucid silk of program windows! Try it, and you will be surprised - how could you have done without Sinaps Comfort all these years?

More low following text about Windows Desktop is first of all experiment. Each person though not a lot of working for computers had a requirement for start of shortcuts on Windows Desktop.
"To put far away that it was not stirred, to take closer, that was near at hand" - the formulation which has appeared long before concept use computer desktop. However, with reference to Windows Desktop the given formulation is not less actual, than to any another Desktop. The so simply formulated problem in practice has set of variants of the decision. And considering, that on client workplaces there are the most different OS Windows - from Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, to give universal advice about adjustment Windows Desktop it is impossible at least because its possibilities depend from established by OS.

Let's recollect history of development of the concept "Windows Desktop". After successful decision Windows 95 change of the user interface has started to develop towards integration with Internet Explorer therefore in Windows 98 there was a concept of an active desktop (Active Desktop). One more name of this technology - True Web Integration - opens sense of the innovation directed on deleting of border between the local computer and Internet more full.
Before occurrence Active Desktop it was not clear, in what direction to improve the desktop interface, which general concept in Windows 95 was and without that successful. Active Desktop has allowed to fill up a desktop with active contents of Web-pages. Thus the main line of technology is that the information on your desktop is updated after changes in Internet. As a matter of fact, it was integration of a browser into operational system. Anyhow technology Active Desktop has won the big popularity. According to representatives Microsoft, Active Desktop it is not simple addition to a browser, and interface Windows 98 in Windows 95.
So, Windows 98 has got rather convenient, flexibly set up desktop closely integrated with Web. The part of parametres easily changes directly from points of the menu of adjustment, professional users can carry out more thin tuning by register editing. For less experienced users special programs of foreign manufacturers which allow to edit the register in a safe mode from corresponding programs are offered. Along with ample opportunities of updating desktop Windows 98 has also the lacks. At least, there was a considerable quantity of programs of the third manufacturers, called to improve desktop Windows. It is necessary to tell, that the quantity of similar workings out is very great, the truth far not all from them are successful. Among them there are also absolutely small utilities in the size from 10 Kb, and it is a lot of-megabyte cover. One of these programs do not mention the general concept of a desktop and usually add on a standard desktop only small panel expanding some functionality, others force to reverse style and the interface concept, the third offer cosmetic "repair" by a principle and practically do not influence an overall performance. Certainly, experts Microsoft too were not idle and from the moment of exit Windows 98 worked over improvement of functions of a desktop which developed in operational systems Windows 2000 and Windows XP. First of all the given improvements have been directed on simplification of information search, optimisation of performance of daily problems and simplification of individual adjustment of system.
Certainly is and every day is issued clones of Windows Desktop and for Windows Desktop more and more. It and various shell expansions for Windows Desktop and Shell replacements.

As a result consumer quality of many, is no time good, compact and fast programs has sharply decreased, and requirements to computer iron, on the contrary, have sharply increased.
