Windows gives us some basic options to change the position of icons on the desktop, how they are displayed, and how new icons behave. But when it comes to deeper customization, the operating system falls short. Fortunately, we have tools like DesktopOK, which lets us create and store a wide number of profiles with precise positions for all our icons.
Too many icons on your desktop? Order can turn into chaos faster than you think, and this is especially true for those working with low resolutions. At the same time, Windows enables automatic arrangement and snap for icons, but not much more than that. If you want to organize content by separating folders, programs, shortcuts, games, and/or documents, you'll have to do it by hand, and there's always that unexpected settings change that scatters your icons in every direction. So how do we avoid it? How can we arrange icons the way we want and keep them that way?
How to save icon order with DesktopOK
That's where DesktopOK comes to the rescue. This tiny app helps you save multiple icon profiles (up to 32) that you can apply with a simple double-click. DesktopOK handles different screen resolutions without issue, and it also includes a timer that automatically saves positions to avoid accidents. If you want a profile to be the default when Windows starts, just right-click it, choose the option, and the startup label will appear next to it. DesktopOK also offers a wide range of secondary tools and shortcuts to various parts of the operating system.
DesktopOK is very lightweight (under 500 KB), fully portable (you need to copy the DesktopOK.ini file to the same folder as the executable—the details are here), and it is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. VirusTotal gives it a perfect score, and I haven't had any issues on the latest Windows 10 build. If you want more control when positioning and organizing icons on the desktop, don't hesitate to try it.
