Downloaded the link from an old PC Mag.com article for the
"pcnineoneone" tweak (see below) but have not been able to get it to work.
Can someone help?
Control Your Desktop Icons
11.05.02
When you temporarily change your desktop to a lower resolution-while
using Safe mode, for example-Windows can wreak havoc with your careful
positioning of desktop icons. A free download, available at
www.pcnineoneone.com/tweaks/layout.zip, lets you save and later restore your
icon layout.
Download Layout.zip and unzip it to extract two files. Move
Layout.dll to the Windows\System32 folder. Double-click on Layout.reg to add
it to the Registry.
If you now right-click on almost any of the standard desktop icons
you'll see two new items: Save Desktop Icon Layout and Restore Desktop Icon
Layout. Choose the former whenever you change the layout; choose the latter
when you need to restore it.
