Windows Toolbox: Keep Those Desktop Icons in Line

Do you have trouble keeping your desktop icons arranged the way you want? This can be a problem if you change your screen resolution regularly--or if your PC has a screen saver that changes it automatically. IconSaver can preserve the icons precisely the way you arrange them, and it can store separate arrangements for each screen resolution. You can also set IconSaver to automatically restore icons to their positions anytime the screen resolution changes. And finally, you can customize keyboard shortcuts for saving and restoring icons, among other options. IconSaver works with all versions of Windows from 95 on. After 30 days, you need to register, but don't worry: It's only $5. Check it out.
