Downloaded this 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.
