Save & restore desktop icon layout
-
In XP I had a very handy free utility which displayed in the dropdown context menu on the desktop. It offered two items "save desktop icon layout", and "restore desktop icon layout".
I can't locate a similar utility for Windows 7 64 bit.
Does anyone know of one that's available?
Thanks for any suggestions.

If you want to save also the windows positions on your desktop you can try Mosaico at http://www.soulidstudio.com . You can save up to 8 different windows layouts and restore them anytime. Mosaico also has assisted and automatic windows tiling. It's a time-saver when you have many apps opened at once.
