it works, whether ’Auto Arrange’ or ’Align to Grid’ are turned on or off, it does what it purports to do (and does not force you to re-check Align to Grid if it was checked to begin with. Each of the programs above offers its own set of features and advantages, but Desksave brings a number of things to the table that has made it my desktop-icon-saving program of choice (these are the first four points outlined below): My experience with these kinds of programs is that they are strangely unreliable, especially in relation to whether ’Auto Arrange’ and/or ’Align to Grid’ are enabled. This is the third program of its kind that I am featuring on Freewaregenius (I’d previously reviewed DIManagerX and Shock Desktop). It features a number of interesting options, including portability, shell integration into the right-click context menu, and the option to run from the command line. Desksave is a free, lightweight program that saves the icon layout on the desktop according to the current screen resolution and can restore it at a later point if needed, either manually or automatically.
