Have you ever changed the graphics resolution on your computer or hooked your laptop up to an overhead projector and found yourself with desktop icons scattered all over? This happens to me all of the time.
- I go to a meeting in which I need to present.
- Inevitable, I connect my laptop to an overhead projector that only supports a 640x480 screen resolution.
- When I change my laptop resolution to 640x480, my desktop icons get all jazzed up.
I prefer a nice clean Windows desktop. If I put a shortcut icon in the upper-right corner of my screen, I expect it there regardless of the screen resolution. If only Windows XP were so smart. :(
I found a neat little freeware application that allows me to save my desktop icon placement and restore the saved settings. Quite cool. The application is aptly called Icon Restore and adds Restore/Save Desktop Icon Layout menu choices when you RIGHT-CLICK on your My Computer icon.
I've seen other desktop icon saving apps on the Internet being sold for $10-$50. For my needs, this simple little freeware utility does the trick! Check it out at: http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/Icon_Restore/iconrestore.html.
