Program to restore icon positions?

[Mark]

When I test an emulator sometimes the icon posiitioning gets messed up
on my Desktop and I have to sort them again... Is their a simple
application that can save and restore the icons on a desktop?

Cheers.

try:
994 iconlock.zip 58848 03-25-95 IconLock - allows you to password
protect minimized applications on the Windows desktop.

I use a utility I only know from its filename in my archive
directory...'layout.zip'. It contains a dll and a registry entry. When
installed it adds a right click context menu addition when you right
click on the My Computer icon on the desktop to save or restore the
desktop layout.

Works a treat, no fuss.

When I clicked on the file link, I got the following:

"An error has occurred. The webmaster has been notified, and it should
be cleared up shortly. Thank you for your patience.

Thank you all for your help. I've stuck with the layout.zip registry
entry at the moment suggested by SteveH and eXistenZ.

Cheers!.

May I suggest "icon_restore." Google for it, it works for me.

I use "Desktop Restore" I find that it's an indispensable desktop tool,
especially after playing some games that [used to] play havoc with
desktop icons.
