    Lightbulb How 2 restore desktop icons locations after resolution change ?

    Dear Guruz,

    How can I save and restore the locations of the desktop icons in order to be able to arrange them as they were after changing screen resolution to a very low resolution ?

    I wonder if it is a registry thing and if I can use the same method for it to work in Win9x, XP, Vista...

    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards - Yovav

    If you have Jeffrey Richter's "Programming Applications for Microsoft Windows", you can find there application which does the same.

    Thanks - Great stuff !!!

    Does anyone know what may be the difference between XP and Vista (or 64 bit systems) ?

    Do I need to look for a different desktop window (SHELLDLL_DefView) or a different ListView (SysListView32) ?
    Best Regards - Yovav
