This works sometimes and fails sometimes.

Is there an update or newer, better option to save desktop icon layouts?

this program doesn’t work. i’ve tried it and it only seems like it works the first time, but if you try mixing up ur icons, then try restoring…its not the same.

If it doesn’t remember all the icon’s positions correctly on the first try, just try clicking “Restore Desktop Icon Layout” until it gets it right.

THANK YOU!!!

This is an excellent tool, simple, unobstructive, and easy to use. Just make sure to download the separate uninstaller for if you would ever want to remove it (It says on the site that it currently cannot be removed via Add/Remove programs in Windows).

I’ve been looking for something like this because I use a projector a lot. I have many icons on my desktop, and rearranging them after each resolution change has been a real chore until now.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work 100%.
Namely, if you have a lot of icons on the desktop, this fix will not remember all of it and you will end up re-arranging everything manually.

Tested this on 3 different WindowsXP Pro SP2 installs.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

I work with two screens and these (bleeping) icons constantly shifting around has been aggravating me EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!

Highly recommend it, especially for those who work with multiple screens!
