In Windows, when screen resolution changes, the order of the desktop icons very often gets mixed up. With DeskSave it is quite easy to recover a previously saved icon layout either manually or automatically. Software developers are given the opportunity to test their applications in different screen resolutions without disarranging the desktop icons.
Features:
Saves the icon layout according to current user and screen resolution
Restoring works properly, even if 'Auto Arrange' or 'Align to Grid' (Windows XP/Vista) is activated
Accepts command line parameters
Auto restore after resolution change, program start or resume from standby/hibernation
Starts with Windows, if desired
Saves icon layouts to files
Undo after restoration
Provides backups of current and saved layouts
Optional portable mode, leaves no traces on the system
Supports multiple displays
Supports English and German language
Optional shell extension for the desktop, thereby easy access to functions without background process

No setup routine, just unpack the archive and DeskSave is ready
Easy deletion of all saved primary layouts, backups settings, DeskSave is completely removable
