If changing your computer screen's resolution hides or cuts off some of your desktop icons, you can adjust your display settings, or you can download DesktopOK (64-bit). This compact piece of freeware lets you save and restore desktop icon positions for different screen resolutions or users, making it a great solution for anyone who frequently changes their display setup. Unlike many other programs, DesktopOK allows users sharing a PC to instantly restore personal desktop arrangements, as well as save multiple settings for different needs—be it for work, gaming, or general use. The primary advantage is that you won’t lose desktop access to your programs when switching resolutions.

DesktopOK’s interface, while compact, offers a range of functions. Initially, it opened in German, but switching to English was as easy as clicking the British flag icon. Compared to similar software that may be cluttered with unnecessary features, DesktopOK’s interface is simple, with just file menus and a field for saved settings. Its main functions—Save, Restore, and Delete—allow you to create custom profiles, enabling a smooth return to your preferred icon layout whenever needed. We tested the tool by saving our current layout, rearranging icons, and restoring the previous arrangement. The program worked instantly, successfully restoring our desktop icons without a hitch. In contrast, many other utilities offer resolution management but may lack such quick restore options.

DesktopOK’s settings menu is versatile. In addition to saving your layout on exit and starting with Windows, it includes shortcuts to Windows features, such as tile and cascade display options. Unique to DesktopOK is the "Punch the Icons" feature, which randomly scatters icons across the desktop. While this might seem quirky, it could be helpful for users wanting to familiarize themselves with icon positions in a non-repetitive manner. As expected, re-clicking our saved settings immediately restored order.

Unlike other software, which often requires installation and makes registry changes, DesktopOK (64-bit) is completely portable. It’s perfect for users who like to take their desktop layout on-the-go, as it runs directly from an executable file with no installation necessary. This makes it ideal for use on multiple computers or for those who frequently use public or shared PCs. You can simply save the file on a USB drive and run it on any PC, leaving no registry traces or program remnants behind.

This program is especially useful for professionals who use multiple monitor setups or who need to project from PCs to larger screens, such as TVs. For gamers or creative professionals who toggle between settings, DesktopOK allows for quick restoration of desktop layouts without tedious adjustments. Compared to other icon management tools that may have more elaborate features, DesktopOK offers a streamlined experience focused on preserving desktop layouts efficiently.

Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a straightforward solution that keeps your desktop organized across different resolutions, DesktopOK is a solid choice. Its simplicity, portability, and reliable functionality make it stand out against bulkier, feature-heavy alternatives. Whether for work, play, or organization, this tool ensures a consistent and customizable desktop experience with minimal setup.
