Sunday, February 1, PM. Hello, Yes i understand now. I will submit feedback, thanks, and thanks for responding. With the former, the described behavior looks broken; with the later, it makes sense as that is the last position you had the Explorer application open. And IMHO, opening a folder on the desktop is the only place where the former "the window is the folder" model still feels like it makes the most sense.
Everywhere else in the W7 UI, the "Explorer as an app" model is at least as valid and moreso in the taskbar. I think MS should give up the pretense of the former model. Explorer is a file manager application and give it the dignity of a name in the titlebar too. Windows XP remembers the postion of all windows. I never had a problem with Windows XP. Monday, February 2, AM. I have exactly the same gripe!
I have links on my desktop for a few folders, in XP I can open them and they always remember the settings. In Win7, they all remember the last setting of the last folder opened. This is a gigantic step backwards, I'm stunned that something this obvious is missing! Tuesday, May 26, PM. In case someone ist interested.
I had the same problem as the topic starter but managed to do a workaround using AutoHotKey and the following little script: run explorer. AutoHotKey is a free and easy to use scripting tool. Just google for it Tuesday, June 9, AM. Tuesday, June 9, PM. I completely understand walk2k's frustration, Windows' desktop management totally blows and to express my disgust with MS in that regard would require language that would get me banned from internet for life.
While I as a programmer might understand difficulty in managing windows of several instances of the same app there are ways of doing it to a much greater degree and none simpler than utilizing the power of a shortcut.
Not perfect but would achieve a lot of goals. The list goes on. But it would be nice to have a shortcut which would open an instance of Firefox on that screen so I can browse my whatevers. Not exactly a common scenario I agree, but then that's just one use and there are plenty of "normal" circumstances where I would like to have a particular arrangement.
And if they find that difficult, well, there really isn't much hope for some more advanced management. The thing that really frosts my butt is it worked in all previous versions of Windows! Why in the world give me a stupid multiple size icon option and not do something useful! Like I need the icons to take up half the desktop. Wednesday, June 10, AM. I agree. Tuesday, November 17, PM. I use my TV connected to the graphics card and watch a lot of stuff that way..
Cheers, bookmarking your site too, useful! When I restored the icons using this program after saving them, of course , the background was black until I refreshed it, and then I only had a single background image and not the slide show.
I had to go back and select the folder in which I had stored the slide show images, and then the slide show mode was turned back on.

Your Desktop icons have been lovingly and painstakingly placed into specific locations — work spreadsheets top-left, links to cat videos bottom-right — then BANG, your screen resolution gets changed and they all get mashed together into the corner of the screen. There are a number of free methods available to save your desktop layout and restore it again if your icons are moved — below are a couple I have used successfully.
The Desktop Restore bit utility is simple to install and use, and allows you to store multiple desktop layouts, depending on different monitor configurations. This should also install successfully on Windows and Vista systems — but I have not tested this.
After installation, you should now have two new menu options when you right-click on an empty part of your Desktop. To save your layout, simply select the Save Desktop Icon Layout option see below.
Then, to restore your saved layout at any time, simply follow the same steps and select the Restore Desktop Icon Layout option. To uninstall, right-click the file Uninstall.
I downloaded layout. I will use it to uninstall the current installation and will try your zip file to see if it works.
Any comments from you welcome. Did you try my zip afterwards?
