Try have a look at a program called Virtuawin. It's a virtual desktop
program (http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/ )

Windows has never natively supported this feature, though some add-on
software might make it possible. Try a Google or Bing search.

Too bad this is not a Linux question in a Linux support newsgroup, eh?
