Re: Changing screen resolution rearranges desttop !

[Guest Bill Snow]

Downloaded the link from an old PC Mag.com article for the

"pcnineoneone" tweak (see below) but have not been able to get it to work.

Can someone 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.
