Desktop Manager Portable

It may be a cliché, but it’s always the small things that make a difference, and the same applies to tweaks you resort to in order to enhance your computer’s behavior.

Desktop Manager Portable is a lightweight application that seems to rely on this argument since it provides you with a series of customizations you can use in order to bring improvements to the way you interact with your PC.

Before anything else, as its name suggests, you need to know that we are discussing a portable program, which means that there is no need for setup, and clicking on the executable is all that’s required on your part.

It automatically hides in the systray, where it provides you with a compilation of tweaks you can enable simply by checking them. To be more specific, what the app can do is disable the red border that accompanies your Skype screen-sharing sessions. By doing this, it prevents issues such as the inability to use AeroSnap and Hot Corners in Windows 7 and 8 or inconveniences regarding map scrolling in games online.

Other than that, the software utility can hide your wallpaper, which can ensure some degree of privacy, as well as disable animations.

What’s more, you are offered three options as far as the style of the icons you are using is concerned. You can go for the default settings, the Windows 8 appearance, or Windows 10 style.

As for how non-obtrusive the program is, the fact that it runs in the systray speaks for itself. Plus, if you don’t want to bother with launching it each and every time you use your computer, you can ask it to autostart with Windows.

Desktop Manager Portable is a simplistic app that can ensure you are comfortable not only with functional aspects related to your Skype conferences but also aesthetic details that should enhance your desktop. While the program does not impress with its feature set, its capabilities are welcome and close at hand to all users alike.
