Desktop applications are installed on PC/LAPTOP & then you can work on them it can not be used by several users. Unlike Web Application.
Thanks

A desktop application is an application that runs locally and stand alone in a desktop or laptop computer. Contrasting with "Web-based application" which requires the Web browser (and usually an internet connection) to run.

I know is not much, but... could you use "improve question" and give a bit more information or redefine your question?
