DIManager

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET Staff on February 27, 2009

One of the most frustrating parts of sharing a Windows profile is having other people mess with your carefully arranged desktop icons. DIManager solves this problem by saving your icon layout and allowing you to restore it in a reasonable number of clicks. The program also lets you quickly change the desktop background and default icons. On the minus side, the interface looks amateurish and is entirely in German. However, if you don't mind those quirks, DIManager may save a lot of time--not to mention your nerves.

    "Misses some icons"

    August 13, 2007  |   By PeteC

    Version: DIManager 6.5.1 build 192

    Cons

    I can't use it. It seems to place most of the icons where they were but it misses a few. Maybe it has a limit like 128 icons. I have about 145 icons give or take a few during the day.

    "I think this program is fantastic."

    April 15, 2007  |   By T.L.B.

    Version: DIManager 6.5.1 build 192

    Pros

    It seems to me that my Desktop Icon placement gets messed up quite often. (changing monitor resolutions, trying out new programs, and sometimes for no reason at all) DIManager will put the icons right back where you had them. It doesn't confuse DIManager if you have added or deleted icons either. This program is small and simple and even though it will add itself to your tray (by the clock) you can just exit it untill you need to restore your icon placement again.

    Cons

    It may be too simple for some.

    You should try "Iconoid" as well. It's also free and it has five or six other tricks that it will do. I never used any of "Iconoid's" other gadgets and personally prefer the simplicity of DIManager.

    "English menus are included! Excellent program!"

    October 19, 2006  |   By asicguyca

    Version: DIManager 6.5.1 build 192

    Pros

    saves icon positions for each resolution change. Useful because remote desktop accesses from systems with smaller screen sizes will rearrange icons to fit onto smaller screen

    Cons

    Initially menus in german, but english is a choice if you can find it (not too difficult, just click on wrench icon, then sprachen (language) and select english.

    Pros

    easy to arrange icons and save for a neat and organized desktop
