  FREEWARE SPOTLIGHT

  

  By Deanna McElveen

  I have two large monitors and a lot of icons filling those screens. It may look like utter chaos, but my brain knows exactly where each icon is located.

  So when some poorly crafted software leaves my icons all neatly stacked to the left side of my main monitor, I want to neatly stack some skulls!

  DesktopOK by Nenad Hrg (one of my favorite developers) can put your mind at ease by allowing you to save the layout of your desktop icons. If things go south and your icons get messed with, you can quickly restore them. Want different layouts for different screen resolutions or users? No problem! DesktopOK can save as many backups as you want.

  Ever have your desktop icons move when you reboot or switch screen resolution?

  Randy and Deanna at The Older Geeks have a solution for you. There’s a free Windows Shell Extension from Jamie O’Connell at Midiox called Desktop Restore that lets you save your icon positions, give each configuration a name, and swap among them.
