nitebat Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 folks:And the winner is.... layout.zip!If any of the above proggies should be added to 98seSP, it's this one. Slick, small and (apparently) a Microsoft product! It's amazing what you folks haul out of the ether. I've checked 'Properties' on the '.dll' (and with a hex editer) and it appears to be genuine. Whaddayou say Gape, does this one make the grade?Great find ack-hh! nitebat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ack-hh Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Danger, Will Robinson... Danger... I like MS layout.dll too [use it all the time], but you may want to know about the bugs:http://www.mdgx.com/newtip20.htm#LDII'm using "layout" for five years or so, and I never haveexperienced the problems mentioned above.IF there should be a bug though, reinstalling isn't required IMHO.Deleting the following registry value should help:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop\ViewView2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhor Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Greetings everyone.Is there any way I can activate the "Restore Desktop Icon Layout" option by the command line, or the only way is selecting the My Computer icon, right click and choose it?Thank you for the help.

PROBLEMCHYLD Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) I like MS layout.dll too [use it all the time], but you may want to know about the bugs:http://www.mdgx.com/newtip20.htm#LDII have not witness bugs either the trick is when you install new programs that add new icons to the desktopyou have to save the new layout again so it can remember the new icons also you want to uncheck auto arrange other than that its a crucial tool.
