<p dir="auto">I am a windows user with two windows monitors. I tend to have shortcuts on my desktop ordered in a way unique to me. There are times that I either accidentally sort my icons, or Windows mess up when my monitor goes to sleep, and they all move around.</p>
<p dir="auto">My father is a software engineer who wrote me a small application the backup and restores desktop icon positions, that works over multi-monitors, by merely keeping a save file of the coordinates of each shortcut on the desktop.</p>
<p dir="auto">Seeing this feature would surely be helpful to others, and thus I request this feature.</p>
<p dir="auto">It would be great to have a tool to save AND restore the location of all shortcut icons on the desktop.</p>
<p dir="auto">For some reason with single monitor, or multiple monitors with different resolutions, different zoom/font size/icon size and spacing/etc. The location of these icons is reset and you're left with all icons Auto-Arranged on the left of the screen, like Windows threw its hands up and said IDK, forget whatever locations they are and now set them up in the default grid.</p>
<p dir="auto">There used to be a tool for this years ago. Can't seem to find it. It was third-party and not part of Power Toys. Worked in Windows 7.</p>
<p dir="auto">Use a Desktop [optional Shift] Right Click menu that allows you to SAVE the current icon positions and the same to RESTORE the last saved locations.<br>
If new icons were added after the last save, then place them as appropriately as possible.<br>
Only stores the last saved location. Can have profiles, but not necessary on the first iteration.</p>
