Are You Fussy About Keeping Your Desktop Icons In Order?

Darcy has a few desktop icons; I have a few also, but hide them. But we noticed that many of you are really fussy about how you arrange your desktop icons.

And we don’t recommend Fences or any of those other desktop enhancement utilities/programs because they’re always running in the background chowing down on computer resources. Of course, we’re penny pinchers when it comes to conserving our PCs’ resources. To others aesthetics come first.

But if you have spent a lot of time organizing your desktop icons only to have them re-arranged by a Windows update — or a Windows gaff — we have a freeware program we think you’ll like.

First, w like it because all it does is save your current desktop layout as a file. You can restore your current layout from that file. The program does not have to run in the background… or even start up with Windows. And guess what? You don’t even have to install it. You just unzip it, and run it.

We do recommend after you unzip it that you create a shortcut for it on your start menu. That way, if you ever need to restore your desktop icons in the exact order you like them, just open the program and restore from one of your saved backup files. It’s that easy. It’s called DesktopOK. It has a lot of other great features too.

Here are some words from the developer, some screen shots and links for more info and, of course links to the the downloads.
