help?

 

Control Your Desktop Icons

11.05.02

 

 

When you temporarily change your desktop to a lower resolution-while

using Safe mode, for example-Windows can wreak havoc with your careful

positioning of desktop icons. A free download, available at

http://www.pcnineoneone.com/tweaks/layout.zip, lets you save and later restore your

icon layout.

 

Download Layout.zip and unzip it to extract two files. Move

Layout.dll to the Windows\System32 folder. Double-click on Layout.reg to add

it to the Registry.

 

If you now right-click on almost any of the standard desktop icons

you'll see two new items: Save Desktop Icon Layout and Restore Desktop Icon

Layout. Choose the former whenever you change the layout; choose the latter

when you need to restore it.
