I wrote a "virtual desktop" application back around that time, which worked in the same way.
Create a tray-icon, and iterate over all the windows. Any window that was on "this" desktop would be shown, all others would be hidden.
When the user hit the key to go up/down through the virtual desktop list (I think there were four), we'd update the hidden/visible state of all appropriate windows.
Written in C using the Win32 API and only a thousand lines of code or so. It was a pretty reliable and useful hack at the time.

I guess that brings us back on topic!
