What version of SDC do you have? Mine updated this morning to 2.03.314 build 78 and I don't see any "Think Desk" there.
I just have directories for install & archive/restore and the home page setting.

I updated to the same one. If you right click the SDC icon on your task bar, then click on settings, then advanced. It's right there in the show/hide applications under free stuff. It is also right there in the settings when you log on to SDC (Stardock Central). I am at home and no one has hacked my computer.

Then I get the normal windows "minimise, maximise, restore, close etc etc" menu - no settings.
I don't see "settings" (as I said above), if I open the SDC Tools->Settings menu (or click on "Registration Info" in the status bar) then I see what I said before in #4
?? ?? You don't mean Natural Desktop ?
Maybe you should post a screenshot somewhere?

Think Desk is a new forthcoming suite of applications that are designed to increase productivity in Windows. One of the programs is already available from the Stardock site, called Multiplicity, and it allows you to control a 2nd PC from another using only 1 keyboard/mouse and monitor.

I don't know what to tell you. It is on mine. Unfortunately I do not know how to upload a screenshot. I read how to do it, but .... I do not have Natural Desktop. I am talking about Stardock Central. If you do not have Settings on yours you should re download it. My older version had the "Settings" as well.

Hippy, I have something with that description called control Center
"ControlCenter is the ultimate virtual desktop manager. It clearly and reliably allows users to manage windows on many desktops while at the same time monitoring their resources. It also serves as a great way of launching applications and can replace the Start Bar."
Same thing or not?

SD, I think what their talking about is more like Norton's PC Anywhere that lets you remotely control another computer across the internet or on a LAN.

Not fair to tease Hippy.
It took me a while to find Multiplicity on Stardock.com (I finally had to resort to google) and the product looks amazing! I use a TabletPC and a desktop at the office and being able to control both from one would be a HUGE productivity boost. But the download link points to the info page.

Interestingly, the buy button is not a liink yet, just an image. Ande the price is going to impact my decision to buy. It looks like a great tool . . . but I'm already in Stardock's pocket for ODNT, WinCustomize, OD+, CursorXP, Unorthodox Skins, Natural Desktop, TotalGaming.net . . . Sooner or later the wife is going to notice. I also need to save up for Darth Tater Link when it comes out.
I may have to wait for the whole ThinkDesk Suite (whatever that is) and see if there's a markdown.

How is "Multiplicity" different from XPs' "RDC" Remote Desktop Connection, or PCAnywhere for that matter?
I use "RDC" all the time, here at the house, I have 3 headless machines doing grunt work all the time, and where PCAnywhere, avoids some issues, such as sound card problems, "RDC" is very smooth and responsive, where "PCA" is a little more jerky, yet has screen scaling. How is Multiplicity with sound card issues, does it bring remote sound to the client Computer, or leave it at the Host? I ask this because These "Terminal Server" type applications make for great remote controls to MP3' and Media Type Servers around the house. Does Multiplicity allow for Screen Resolutions matching, scaling, wall and skins? Does it port the client skin to the Host?
