Any good expose clones for Windows XP?

[Scott_Arm]

I've been searching around for good Expose clones for Windows XP. I tried one (DExposeE2) and it crashed constantly.

I tend to have a lot of windows open on my PC at work and I think something like Expose would make managing my desktop a lot easier.

Unfortunately we won't be going with Windows7 at work for a long time, so I won't be getting any of the native UI improvements.

I think there was a Windows Gadget imitation of it, but I can't seem to find it now.

Oh wait, that's for Vista, you were wondering about XP.

Thanks, Davros. I'll check it out on my pc at home before I try it at work.

Ouch! That just b*ggered up all my windows moving them off-screen I guess. That's been put into the bit-bucket.

According to Wikipedia
the InstantViewer feature of MS IntelliPoint is the original
But it only works off a mouse click & I think it only works with MS mice.

Hmmm, maybe I won't try it I didn't have time yesterday.

This may be off topic but while on the topic of expose is there something similar to workspaces or spaces whatever it is called for Windows 7?

I haven't tried it but http://www.codeplex.com/vdm looks promising.

Microsoft have released powertoys etc to do virtual desktop management at least since XP, they just have never been very good.

Those with an ATI graphics card can use Hydravision (previously a separate download but seems to be integrated in recent Catalyst versions) for virtual desktops.

Can't say I've ever found any practical use for virtual desktops myself though.
