Additional Configure Desktops options that should be added

Additional Configure Desktops options that should be added
1. The ability to create a list of Programs to Close – This option can either be integrated into the start-up tab options for desktops or be a tab of its own. This option will allow the user to create a list of programs that can be closed, much like the options for closing programs in the start-up, but without the need for having the desktop starting the program first.
An example: The user defines Google Chrome.exe as a program on this list. This option allows the user to launch that Chrome.exe either in the specified desktop, or move it to the specified desktop and then have Chrome.exe close by one the close options; never, next entry, next exit, dexpot end. But it only closes the program if it exist in the specified desktop(s)

2. The ability to hide a desktop – An option (a checkbox) in the properties tab that allows the user to define the desktop as hidden. Meaning the desktop does not show up on the following; full screen preview, Desktop Manager, Desktop preview, desktop windows, desktop selector menu, next and previous hotkeys. And the only way to access the desktop is by its defined hotkey. This option can go perfectly with the password protection desktop option, making it a truly secure and private desktop.

3. The ability to delete and recreate a desktop – This option can be in either the settings dialogbox, or the configure desktop dialogbox. This option will allow the user to delete (exit) an individual (or multiple) virtual desktop(s) by one or more options like; a defined hotkey, a right click menu option that creates a dialogbox to select any one or more desktops to delete and/or recreate from a list, etc. Also this option either closes any programs within the chosen desktop(s) or moves them to another desktop. This option could be useful for when the computer starts slowing down and lagging due to multiple programs opened on one (or more) desktop(s).

I honestly believe these options should be implemented in future version updates and that these options with bring a few more customization abilities for the users of your program.
