I have Icon Restore (LAYOUT.DLL) installed. I must use it far more
often than is reasonable.
How do I get WinXP to leave my icons where I want them?
How about getting rid of Icon Restore? Looks like they supply an
uninstall EXE.
Never trust strange programs with Windows.
I used Icon Restore for a number of years with Win98SE. It contained no viruses or spyware, and it performed the task that I wanted. That task was to restore my desktop arrangement after operating in Safe mode.
Initially, I did not install Icon Restore on my new PC with WinXP. I was neither thought I would need it nor sure it would work. The problem I'm having, however, indicated the need; so I tried it with WinXP. It does work.
The problem is that I have to use it far more often with WinXP than I ever used it with Win98SE. I now must use it each time I boot, even if I haven't been in Safe mode. Occasionally, I have to use it in the middle of a session, even if I haven't booted. Effectively, WinXP is a step backwards from Win98SE in terms of desktop stability.
