The Icon Auto arrange feature is now always active it seems in Vista. So these two tools (32 and 64 bit) add a way of saving the desktop layout and restoring it. Thanks Jaime. Steve.
If you switch resolutions a lot you’ve probably experienced the problem with Windows moving your icons around every time it switches to a lower resolution, such as when playing a video game or hooking up your laptop to an external display.With a little tweak that originally came from the resource kit, we can add a menu that will let us save and restore the desktop icon positions by right-clicking on the Computer item on the start menu (or desktop icon).

- for 64 bit Vista dips64 Desktop context menu is available only when you Shift+Right Click on the Desktop.
