Deanna’s Freeware Spotlight: Desktop Restore

Posted on April 22, 2019 at 05:32 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

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.

More brilliant, free and crap-free software from Deanna McElveen at OlderGeeks.com

Details in this week’s AskWoody Plus Newsletter 16.15.0, out this morning to AskWoody Plus Members.
