GiMeSpace Desktop Extender 1D is a small app [~2.8MB] that uses Direct Draw to allow you to virtually extend the width of the Windows desktop. If your display rez is set to 1080p, the desktop's width can [theoretically] be set infinitely larger than the original 1920 -- what you see will be a window that's still 1920 pixels wide, but the desktop itself can be panned or scrolled left or right. While the desktop panning wouldn't work in my Win7 VMs, with their emulated graphics hardware, SysInternal's Process Explorer did not show anything unusual, with very low usage of resources like CPU & RAM. Installing GiMeSpace Desktop Extender 1D added the program's folder, plus a GMS folder in Users\ [UserName]\ AppData\ Local -- activating the app added files to Users\ [UserName]\ AppData\ Local\ VirtualStore, so you may want to run the software as Admin. To enable GiMeSpace Desktop Extender 1D to start with Windows a shortcut is added to the All User Start Menu's Startup Folder -- C:\ProgramData\ Microsoft\ Windows\ Start Menu\ Programs\ StartUp\. In my Win7 32-bit VM installing this GOTD caused a rewrite or refresh of the Component registry hive, showing that it added 229983 registry entries -- however, in my Win7 64-bit VM Regshot2 recorded: "New keys: 20, New values: 84, Changed values: 16, Total changes: 120", FWIW, most all in [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\.
