Moderators SmOke_N Posted March 20, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2006 Translation:Is it possible to save the current position of all Icons on the Desktop so it can be restored at a later date .....LOL... well, after reading it 4 times, I think I understood that part... the part I guess I don't understand is 'Why', at whatever time you call it, your more than likely going to either A.) Have more icons that were not in the original configuration B.) Have Less icons, maybe you removed a program C.) A little of both.... Maybe a better/neater solution could be had if it was known what it was for? Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt...

I could hurt your eyes if you read what I tried to say in your language if it is something other than english !!But seriously, could you state what your over all goal is for this, and what specifically you are trying to attempt, maybe a better solution could be offered.

OK, I have a lot of icons on the Desktop. It's arranged by my custom.Everything's all right. But sometimes became, that all of icons is arranged to right part of the screen(automatically). I'm trying to write script for save current - my custom position of all Icons on the Desktop so it can be restored at right time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators big_daddy Posted March 20, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 20, 2006 Looks like this is what you are wanting.Layout.zipDownload 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Not exactly on topic, but a config thing I do to help folks I support is to right click on the taskbar, and add the toolbar for the desktop. I make the toolbar as small as possible, so you just see the word "Desktop >>". This allows for quick access to the desktop without having to minimize any windows, and it doesn't matter where the icons are on the screen. Also, you can make folders to keep down clutter, and to organize stuff.

slightly_abnormal Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 (edited) what the hell are you using? My desktop is full the icons hide off the screen for me.. Edited March 21, 2006 by slightly_abnormal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators big_daddy Posted March 21, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 21, 2006 what the hell are you using? My desktop is full the icons hide off the screen for me..Actually I believe this works on windows back to 98. First create a folder on your desktop, I name mine Junk.Then inside that folder create a folder for each category you want (i.e. Video, Audio, Imaging, etc). Then start throwing your icons into the appropriate folders.Now drag one of the folders in your Junk folder to the edge of the screen and release.This will create a toolbar with the icons in that folder. Now right click on the toolbar and select Toolbars-->New ToolbarChoose the next folder from your Junk folder and click OK, repeat this step for the remaining folders.Now you can format each toolbar section however you please.
