Even 1.6-2gb (vs 16-20gb) would be a tremendous amount compared to the installer size....

I thought I was crazy (Still debating lol) I found the info on Blue Cat Software. I found it in Revo uninstaller. Here is a screen shot.

If, like me, you've had instances of your strategically placed Windows Desktop Icons getting moved/reordered/messed up this utility (DesktopOK) is great.

You run it, capture your icon layout and close it. Doesn't have to stay running in background. You can then relaunch and restore your icon layout in one click. You can also store multiple layouts if desired.

With DesktopOK you can arrange icons as you wish, on multiple monitors, then save those different layouts and recall them with a click. I have 3 monitors on my music PC and 5 on my office PC and it works great on both.

Desktop restore does that as well can yours say one monitor icons and move them to another monitor. That’s what I’m looking for.

Hi Max.  Not at my PC but I know you can save multiple layouts, so you could arrange icons on monitor 1, save layout, then do it repeatedly for other monitors etc. and “move” the icons by just restoring the layout you saved. Not sure if that’s what you want to do. DesktopOK is just a small exe file, no install, so it’s easy to test.
