Icon Restore: Save and restore your Windows desktop layout
Ever change your Windows desktop resolution, only to find that all of your program shortcuts, image thumbnails, and other desktop icons have shifted? Changing back to your original resolution doesn't help either. But Icon Restore might.
This handy little freeware application lets you create a snapshot of your desktop layout. Once it's installed, you'll find two new options in your right-click menu for My Computer. One lets you save your desktop icon layout, while the other lets you restore your layout to your most recently saved settings.
There is currently no way to uninstall Icon Restore using Windows' Add/Remove dialog. Instead, you have to download a standalone uninstaller application from the developer's site.

Sounds like a program I have been using for a few years now called WinTidy.
I'll give this one a try. Thank you.

What's the advantage over the veteran Iconoid [http://www.sillysot.com/]? It'll also hide the desktop icons if the mouse moves away to another window and has worked for me for the past 5 years, W2k, XP and now Vista. Three generations of operating systems and Microsoft still haven't fixed this issue!
