In some folder other than desktop, freeze icon placement

Nice find, wraith808.  I'll try it out and see how it compares.

Fences, by the way, offered some benefits, but had shortfalls.  Not exactly what I was asking for.

wraith808:
Yeah... I get that now.  Hopefully, this is better for you.  There are some idiosyncracies to it also though, so be forewarned.  That's the reason I use something else instead, no matter how cool it is.

I think most of the downsides are described on that page, though it's missing that if something saves its place in a certain way (haven't been able to narrow it down), then when you try to open it on the alternate screen, it will instead open on the original screen.

nkormanik:
I ended up creating additional desktops in my c:\Users\Nicholas folder.  Along with the usual Desktop folder.

So, I have there:

Desktop#0
Desktop#1
Desktop#2
Desktop#3

Then I have to change in the registry which desktop I want to use.  Log out, and back in.

The additional desktops are blank slates.  Lots of new real estate.

Skwire, you can close this topic, I guess.

If you tell me what you have to do in the registry, I can automate the changing an logging out for you if that would help. I might be able to automate the desktop copy also, in case you need a new one, and I can make it so that you can add them in the interface.

skwire:
I actually wrote an app that does desktop folder switching without having to log out.  I'm traveling for work today but I'll try to get back to this tonight once I get to my hotel.  Stay tuned.
