If you're trying to figure out how to get a particular app to open in a specific desktop, here are some steps you can take:

First, make sure your computer is set up with multiple virtual desktops, as this will allow you to open different programs in different desktops. Depending on your operating system, you may need to enable virtual desktops as a feature.
Once your system is set up with multiple desktops, you can open the applications you want to open in any particular desktop. To do this, simply drag the application window to the desktop you want it to open in.
If you want to make sure that an application always opens in a particular desktop, you can set it up as the default for that desktop. To do this, open your system settings and go to the desktops page. Then, set the app as the default for the desktop you want it to open in.
Additionally, if you have a lot of applications that you need to open in specific desktops, you can use an app like Windows Taskbar Provisioner (https://www.codeplex.com/site/p/windows-taskbar-provisioner/) to automate the process. This app will set different windows to open in different desktops upon startup.

Hopefully these steps will help you open different applications in different desktops. Good luck!

If you want to get certain apps to open on designated desktops, here are some tips you can try:

Use shortcut keys: The simplest way to get designated apps to open on designated desktops is to use shortcut keys. Most operating systems support shortcut keys for changing desktops. For Windows 7, press Windows Key + left arrow to move the window to the left desktop, and Windows Key + right arrow to move the window to the right desktop.
Set up taskbar shortcuts: You can also set up taskbar shortcuts to open designated apps on designated desktops. For example, in Windows 7, right-click an app's icon in the taskbar, select Move to, and select the desktop you want to move it to.
Use third-party desktops managers: If you need more advanced options for managing different desktops, you can use third-party desktop managers like Dexpot or VirtuaWin. These tools provide more options for assigning apps to different desktops, such as drag-and-drop, auto-assigning apps to desktops, and more.

I hope these tips help you get the designated apps to open on designated desktops. Good luck!
