Guest Bill Snow Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Re: Changing screen resolution rearranges desttop Downloaded this 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.
