Restore Desktop Icons for Vista 64bit

Good Vista64 program that saves and restores your desktop icons. Been using it about a month.

Re: Restore Desktop Icons for Vista 64bit

I did use this proggy for a while but I found that it didn't work 100% for me as it would never restore Windows Mail to the original position so I use DeskSave. Very handy especially if you're switching to another monitor or installing new gfx card drivers.

Re: Restore Desktop Icons for Vista 64bit

Desksave looks good. Sometimes you use whatever you find first I guess. I have no mail icons on my desktop but it keeps all the ones I have in order. I have used this program several times already and it is a relief everytime.

This program is small and unobtrusive but it does install/uninstall. There is no program folder or icons anywhere and you only see the save or restore options when you right mouse click with the shift key held. Here is a snapshot of mine. You don't see the foreign text in the above provide pic.
