What Partitions is

Partitions is a Windows app that organizes desktop files, icons, and shortcuts into groups. Each partition appears as a desktop widget that can be resized and customized. You can set font color, background color, transparency, size, and icon view for each group. Within a partition, users can navigate into folders and open links, and partitions can be brought to the foreground while working. PRO features allow browsing existing folders and displaying multiple Windows Explorer folders on the desktop. The Microsoft Store listing describes Partitions as a free download, with a Free plan listed as free. It specifies Windows 10 version 15063.0 or later and identifies public release version 1.0.2.0. Chan Software Solutions is listed as the developer, and the listing links to a privacy policy hosted on Google Sites. Partitions is available through the Microsoft Store and is limited to Windows.
