Partitions

What Partitions is

Partitions is a Windows desktop organizer for grouping files, icons, and shortcuts into separate areas. Each partition appears as a desktop widget that you can resize and customize. Set the font color, background color, transparency, size, and icon view for each one, then navigate into folders or open links from within a partition. Partitions can also come to the foreground while you work, keeping the groups available on the desktop. The free version is listed as free and is available as a Windows download. PRO features add the ability to browse existing folders and display multiple Windows Explorer folders on the desktop. The Microsoft Store listing specifies Windows 10 version 15063.0 or later and identifies 1.0.2.0 as the public release. Chan Software Solutions is named as the developer, and the listing links to a privacy policy hosted on Google Sites. The app is available from its Microsoft Store page.

Who it suits

Partitions suits Windows users who want to group desktop files, icons, and shortcuts in configurable areas. It may also suit users who want existing folders displayed on the desktop, with those folder browsing features available through PRO.

Limits

The free version does not include the listed PRO features for browsing existing folders and displaying multiple Windows Explorer folders on the desktop.

Getting started

1. Open the Microsoft Store listing.
2. Download the free Windows version.
3. Create partitions for desktop files, icons, or shortcuts.
4. Customize each partition's appearance and size.
5. Use PRO features to browse existing folders or display multiple Explorer folders.

Verdict

Choose Partitions if you want configurable desktop groups for files, icons, and shortcuts on Windows. Look elsewhere if you need a different platform, or if you need existing-folder browsing without PRO.
