LOL, that's very few for me. My other machines have around 130 to 140 icons on them. I run everything from my desktop icons. never have used the start menu for that. This machine I'm using now has 136. See attachment and look inside the red box. This is why I need a program that keeps track on...

Thank you and sorry I hadn't seen this before. I tried following your link and it was totally blocked by my Windows Defender or Malawarebytes antivirus programs. I did play around and finally got to it at this link http://www.midiox.com/index.htm?http://www.midiox.com/desktoprestore.htm. Are...

Allan, may I ask you if you know if there is a limitation to the number of icons Iconoid can keep track of? I got a message, when saving another icon to my desktop, that said something along the lines of You moved 64 icons and Iconoid can only move 40 or 46 icons, not sure what the exact number...

Thank you for all that information. I looked at my installation and the only thing I found that was a lot different was the first Tab, Colors. Possibly the difference is your setting for Drop Shadows is Enabled where mine is Disabled, which was the default apparently because I didn't change it...

Thank you for the reply. I am going to have to look more closely at the settings you mentioned. As for now, since just installing it, I am using it like I did the WinTidy program I mentioned. By that I mean, I am opening it, saving any new layout, and then closing it, only to reopen it if and...

If I knew the steps in your bat file, it may help a lot more. Thank you for the reply.

OK, I have to ask a question. I, for years had used a program called WinTidy and it always worked well. Some of my icons didn't show up in WinTidy's window when it was opened so I assumed it was defective. However, when I installed Iconoid it said that some of my icons were off the screen and...

Thank you. I was able to get it from your link.

I'd rather have one of the above mentioned programs that does that for me. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Do you use the 32 or 64 Bit version? I ask this because I can't seem to get to the 64 Bit site and not at all sure which version I downloaded from the Major Geek's site. Sorry, I keep adding to this but I seem to only be able to download the 32 Bit version. Is that maybe what you use?

Not sure how others use their computers, but I run my programs from desktop icons. For a long time, as far as I can remember, Windows seems to forget and sometimes moves these icons, at least when you have as many as I do. Does anyone have a suggestion of a program I can use to keep track of my...

Well I did manage to download Open Shell, if I got the correct one, as mentioned in my last post. However, I am not able to download Explorer Patcher from Major Geeks. My security blocks and removes it. Any suggestions on where to get a save download for Explorer Patcher?

I am assuming Explorer Patcher and Open Shell Menu are downloads. So, I found them both at Major Geeks. The choices for Explorer Patcher there are an executable file or a Major Geeks' download. What do you recommend for that? Not sure about downloading an executable file, that's why I'm asking...

Start11 is denying that it is their program causing the problem. I mentioned when it started and it is in direct correlation with their latest update and Windows most recent update today on the other computer. I am definitely keeping your suggestion in mind. I had never heard of it, nor Open...
