Everyone’s done it once in their life – accidentally-on-purpose changed their monitor resolution just to see what would happen, and when you go back to reality you realise the only thing that did happen is that your desktop icons went skewiff. Luckily you’d already installed DesktopOK and you have a handy restore point that you made before your ill-starred resolution experiment. Oh wait, your restore point is from 3 weeks ago. No fear, DesktopOK made an auto-save file in the last day/6 hours/hour/15 minutes. All good then. Additional features include multi-screen (virtual desktops) support, save on shutdown, and a fun Randomise Icons button. Free, runs on most flavours of Windows, and being tiny (39K) it’s ideal for running as a portable app.

DesktopOK is a small but effective solution for user that have to change the screen resolution often. Save your favorite icon locations for each screen resolution. Each user can then have his own arrangement. Minimises to tray area for easy access. Launch at Windows startup. Autosave. Portable.
