Restore your desktop icon positions with DesktopOK
A few months back, we looked at Icon Restore, a nifty little tool that lets you save the state of your desktop icons and then restore them. DesktopOK does pretty much the same thing. But unlike Icon Restore, DesktopOK lets you save and restore multiple layouts.
DesktopOK hangs out in your system tray when minimized. When you're getting ready to change your display resolution, you can just pop it open, save your state, and then play with your resolutions as much as you like, safe in the knowledge that you can restore your desktop to that state when you're done. Or you can keep a couple of saved layouts handy for different situations.

I think what would be more awesome is if they can design it that it remembers the wallpaper too as I tend to arrange my icons depending on what's my wallpaper.

I've used a program called Iconoid for a long time and it works great. You can save icon positions for different resolutions or save relative positions for when your resolution changes. This is especially helpful for laptops when you connect it to a monitor.

Since completely giving my life over to Launchy, I have no need of earthly material things like icons.

Another program called VividSwitcher can do the same thing in a better way, you don't need to save icon positions manually when changing resolutions because it can avoid icons from being rearranged.

Is there a possibility to auto change layout acording to diferent resolutions? I work on a Tablet PC and i'm always changing from horizontal to vertical layouts (1200x800 and 800x1200) so it would be very handy that an auto update screen layout would be available.
