Ok,

First of all let me start with my problem.
I am using AHK at work to develop end-to-end automations.
That means you have a list of lets say a serial number and next to it the information. My program takes the serial, searches for it in a system, comes back to the excel, takes the information and adds it to a certain field then loops for the next serial.
I've simplified the process, it works and it is more complex than that.
The problem is that by using the mouse and clipboard you basically have to have your hands off and let it do it's work. It does the job much faster but you are still loosing time waiting for it.
So i started using virtual machines. Have one there and run the program in it and just do anything else on your machine.
i find it a overkill to have a fully virtualised system just for that but...
Now i started using virtual desktop application, like Deskpot just to organize my work better. And here comes my question/idea:


Is there anything more complex out there that can create a stand-alone second or third desktop like a virtual machine?
I want to go to one desktop, start a script and return to my desktop and have the job done in that way.
I tried it, just a simple send comment to a text script but the moment i switched the desktop the script just stood still. when i returned it continued.

I go not care it is not freeware just as long as there is a way to use a virtual desktop in the way i described.

TY
