"Does what is asked & supposed to!"
Version: DesktopOK (64-bit) 2.55
Pros
Positions your desktop Icons where you want, period. You set the standards, not Microsoft, not tradition, just you. Saves your layout, or multiple layouts at whatever resolution you use.
Cons
Haven't found any.
Summary
There are two apps that perform this task that are 64bit. This is one of them. I don't rate one over the other, but at the current rate, and the attention this author is giving to DesktopOK, it will most likely 'pass' the other app in functionality. It offers everything & more at a size that is smaller then it's closest competitor in both 32 & 64bit versions.
That all by itself is a major feat of programming in today's over-sized apps. And it's 64bit version put no apparent 'byte' on the system or it's performance.
If your icons seem to drift, this is for you. If you want them to vanish and look at an open and clear desktop without the congestion but need those icons to be there when you want them, then this is more for you then you will ever know.
Try it. If you don't like it, delete it. No registry entries and mess to deal with. It's just to handy not to have. If you don't use it today, tomorrow's another day.
Try it, there's nothing not to like. -
"Simple solution that should be built in"
Version: DesktopOK (64-bit) 2.41
Pros
Simple, no need to "install," flexible, intuitive, 32- and 64-bit versions
Cons
.ini file it builds is not hidden (might be a pro for some)
Summary
I've had none of the problems that a few others have noted; I use this on 3 desktops and 4 laptops, and it works flawlessly on all of them.

"A quick solution to an aggravating problem"
Version: DesktopOK (64-bit) 2.41
Pros
DesktopOK realigns icon placement for what ever screen you're using. I use my laptop exclusively at my office I dock it to a USB hub and a 24" Samsung LCD. With a couple of mouse clicks I have the desktop icons where I want then for either screen.
Cons
The text file with your saved desktop information opens when my computer starts along with the DesktopOK selection menu.
Summary
It works, and saves a lot of time re-arranging your desktop icons every time you change monitors

"Doesn't work and can't get it off my laptop."
Version: DesktopOK (64-bit) 2.37
Pros
None, right now.
Cons
Doesn't work and can't get the 64-bit version removed from my laptop.
Summary
Installed 64-bit version on my Toshiba laptop that comes with both 32 & 64-bit options for use. I installed it twice, it doesn't work, but now I can't remove the programs!!! I usually run on 32-bit, so I thought maybe I needed to try installing the version that doesn't say "64-bit version". It still installs as the 64-bit....which doesn't function. Now I have multiple copies of this on my laptop and can't remove ANY of them! VERY ANNOYED.

Cons
need to set up for each type of use
Summary
Great ap. Beats all the others. donate to this guy, he deserves it.

"download repeatedly, will not replace old version"
Version: DesktopOK (64-bit) 2.35
Pros
haven't been able to see it in action
Cons
like old version, would like to try new. Cannot find either old or new in Win 7 "All Programs". what am I doing wrong?
Summary
Would use it if I could get it installed
-
"It's Okay."
Version: DesktopOK (64-bit) 2.33
Pros
Seems to work this time. First time I downloaded it, it only worked partially; meaning it put my icons sort of back, but not really.....and then disappeared completely from my laptop.
Cons
Had to install it a second time, it disappeared the first time. The language choice button is hard to find. HINT: It's down in the bottom-left corner and looks like a tiny flag of another country. Switching it to English is obviously helpful.

"download does not work"
Version: DesktopOK (64-bit) 2.26
Pros

Cons
can't get loaded
