Easily Keep Your Desktop Icons In Order With DesktopOK<\/h1>\n

Just about every week, we receive an email or two from disgruntled Windows 10 users who are upset because a Windows update has changed the order of their desktop icons… that, in some cases, took a lot of time to get sorted out.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t recommend Stardock Fences or any of those other desktop enhancement utilities\/programs because they\u2019re always running in the background chowing down on\u00a0 your computer resources. Of course, we\u2019re penny pinchers when it comes to conserving our PCs\u2019 resources. But we realize that to some people aesthetics come first.<\/p>\n

So, if you have spent a lot of time organizing your desktop icons only to have them re-arranged by a Windows update \u2014 or a Windows gaff \u2014 we have a freeware program we think you\u2019ll like.<\/p>\n

We like it because all it does is save your current desktop layout as a file. You can restore your current layout from that file, if and when you need to. The program does not have to run in the background\u2026 or even start up with Windows. And guess what? You don\u2019t even have to install it. You just unzip it, and run it.<\/p>\n

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 your saved backup file. It\u2019s that easy. It\u2019s called DesktopOK. It has a lot of other great features too.<\/p>\n

Here are some words from the developer, some screen shots and links for more info and, of course links to the the downloads.<\/p>\n

DesktopOK is a small but effective solution for user that have to change the screen resolution often. t is also good for windows users who often have to work with a projector on the notebook eg laptop or tablet-pc.<\/p>\n

The icon position will shift and Windows will not correctly restore the desktop icon position.<\/p>\n
