Unite windows to show them by Alt-Tab

xoid

I use several related windows for work, tilted at foreground as an entire complex workspace. Then I press Alt-Tab to switch to the browser, my workspace windows got lost: one appears while others are in background.

Is there any way to unite some windows as one, so then pressing Alt-Tab they appears all, keeping their look and relative location? Or maybe press another hotkey to see all my workspace windows.

Usually there are 4 such windows, sharing the screen as at Windows logo. And browser and some other apps like e-mail in background, but I wake them up on full screen sometimes.

Desktops v2.0

Download Desktops v2.0 from MIcrosoft’s Windows Sysinternals site. Sysinternals was once a third-party collection of tools, but the Sysinternals tools are so useful and powerful that Microsoft bought them all a few years ago.

...

The first time you switch to a virtual desktop, Windows will “create” it — it’s loading a new copy of Explorer.exe for that desktop. Windows you open on other desktops won’t appear to be open on your other desktops, so you can’t switch to them with the taskbar or Alt+Tab. You’ll have to switch back to their associated desktop first.

Each desktop also has its own separate system tray — so system tray icons from your first desktop won’t appear on your other desktops. If you open an application on your second desktop and it loads a system tray icon, that system tray icon will only appear in the system tray on your second desktop, and not your first, third, or fourth desktops.
