774446 2009-05-16 23:45:00 I need to change screen resolution when I am using a data projector - is there a way I can 'lock' the icons in position when I do this?

The need to rearrange the icons again when I return to my 'working' resolution is driving me batty! :thanks

774447 2009-05-16 23:57:00 I Assume then that the Icons are not all over on the left by right clicking desktop View Arrange icons -?

If you do a google Search using the Title of this threrad minus the ? it brings up several programs, but that are mostly paid ones :(

Free would be better.

No - they are arranged according to my needs - working, club stuff, etc, etc!


Free would be better.

Absolutely... :)

774449 2009-05-17 00:43:00 THe best solution I've found is right click>arrange icons by>then disable icons

Then re-enable when needed, so the position doesn't get lost.

I'm still researching a way to create a shortcut to toggle this. WIll get back to you on this(you could then assign a keyboard shortcut)

EDIT:Found this

BTW you can still access your deskotp icons via windows explorer

EDIT AGAIN: THis is even better!

Blam - thank you for your time, but I can't find anything usable there - just code... :(

Thanks for that. Neither 100% perfect, both about 90% - much better than having to sort the whole lot out again (especially in a public forum!). :)
