I have been searching for a program like Delayed Cuts 1.3.1.0 (MilesAhead), but I cant see how to Download it. There must be an obvious way that Ive overlooked!

To FSL

Sorry about delay getting back on this topic
I Tried IconRestorer which works well for Desktop icons.
My problem was that to keep Desktop uncluttered, most program icons grouped in Folders located on the Desktop. These folders contain a large no. of icons, and each Folders' icon arrangement needs to be saved/restored.
My current approach is a bit hit&miss.
Perhaps what Im looking for isnt possible?

Ive noticed with several Vista-32 systems that icon layout INSIDE folders on the desktop is often reset to alphabetical order (after program install etc).
Since these folders can contain numerous icons it is tedious to restore correct layout.

I now have created a REG save/restore on two keys:

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-913379744-1625067961-1115525842-1000\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell

&

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-913379744-1625067961-1115525842-1000_Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell

It doesnt always work on the newest folder, and key:
S-1-5-21-913379744-1625067961-1115525842-1000
is specific for a given Vista system

Surely others would appreciate a proper icon position RESTORE, which extends inside folders.

any veiws?
