The Accessible Desktop for Switch Users
The Judy Lynn Software Desktop Maker enables you to create customized desktops that launch Windows programs. For example, if you only want John to be given the choice of running Scan & Paint, Microsoft Word or Cause & Effect Cinema then you can create a desktop specifically for John that will contain only those 3 programs. Selecting a Windows program to run is accomplished by step scanning, timed scanning or by clicking on the program with the mouse or touch screen.
Desktop Maker allows you to create an unlimited number of different customized desktops. A customized desktop can contain anywhere from 2 to 20 programs to launch. Desktop Maker does not change your current Windows desktop. The program runs above your current desktop and when you exit Desktop Maker, your original desktop appears. The customized desktop would look like the illustration seen here.
