Restore desktop icon layout to original position
Icon Shepherd is snapshot-based software that quietly monitors the changes happening to the desktop icons. It can either done by you or by anything on Windows. Not only this, but it can also track add, delete, or rename an icon. Once installed, it takes a snapshot immediately and then sits quietly in the system tray. However, for Icon Shepherd to work as expected, you will have to make sure that Auto arrange icons option is enabled for your desktop. Auto Arrange settings arranged all the icons on their own. To manually take a snapshot, you can right-click on the software icon, and click on “Remember icons now.” If you made any changes, it would remember. If there are no changes, it will tell you that there is nothing to change.
The software also comes with a bit of configuration. You can limit the maximum number of icon layouts to remember, i.e., snapshot, choose to restore defaults and restore hidden messages. You can also make sure to restore the last used icon layout with a Computer start.
