SAVING icons position : possible?
...I changed my old matrox card with a good ATI 9800 card...
Now the problem: Matrox drivers allowed to save desktop icons position so that swithing between, for example, an 1024x768 desktop and a 800x600 one, then reverting back to 1024x768 resolution, didn't cause alle the icons to appear gathered in a 800x600 area, placed at the top-left corner of the 1024x768 desktop... (hope you understand!) The icons were replaced in their original position in the bigger desktop: thi is very useful when testing web sites appearance!!! IS THIS POSSIBLE with ATI DRIVERS or some other add-in software not bundled with the board? I will be glad to offer anyone helping me, a big cup of delicious italian coffe !!

Try Icon Restore. It's freeware...here are some download mirrors. http://www.simtel.net/product.downlo...s.php?id=61363 Since it's not exactly clear on how to use it after install, (no icon or start menu directory), here's how it works. After install, arrange your icons the way you like them. Then from the desktop, right click on "My Computer", and left click "Save Desktop Icon Layout". You're done. Now in the future, if for some reason your icons should be in disarray, from the My Computer right click menu, select "Restore Desktop Icon Layout". Yeah, just like I said :-) Another thing you should do is turn off Auto-Arrange or Align to Grid. I've found that when you Restore Desktop Icon Layout and either of those are enabled it ends up putting the shortcuts back in funny places. -- pining for the fjords, Steve [Inglo] |
