But maybe I can just copy the ordered backup in the latter folder to a safe place and recopy (overwriting) at start? I will explore that idea… maybe that is where the locations are stored – but how can they then sometimes change when restarting Windows? And it seems that, when they do, it is usually in the backup that is set as a chosen profile.
DESKTOPOK DOESNT WORK ANYMORE WINDOWS
If only I knew where Dexpot stores the locations of the icons, I could probably have a master backup and at the start of Windows copy its content to the backup folder for Dexpot in …App Data > Roaming > Dexpot > profile. So here is a question: Why does it sometimes happen that a backup is disordered after starting Win-dows? That should not happen! It should be as it was stored in the previous Windows session. Then I store it to replace the backup that has become disordered. If still messed up, I load the other one and then it is almost always OK. I have two backups: Backup 1 and Backup 2. Then they normally order up as they should.īut if they still do not, it is because the backup has become messed up. If the icons are not properly ordered when I open one of the Dexpot windows, I just double-click that icon. Then in each and every Dexpot window I in a corner have an icon that runs KeyAlt-F11.vbs when double clicked.

The vbs script does the same as hitting these two keys. In Dexpot > Settings > Controls > Miscellaneous > Restore icons from profile I have chosen the key combination Alt and F11.

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") It should also correct the icon errors at windows start The first desktop in the list -> Start-upĬommand: C:\Directory ReIcon\ReloadIcon.cmd In AUTOMATED use with Dexpot, you need to configure : :: 'ReloadIcon.cmd' command file must be placed in ReIcon's runtime directory ReIcon_圆4.exe / R / File IconLayouts.ini / ID xxx Rem / id ID of the backup line of the desktop you want to restore Rem Next line to modify according to ReIcon and its backup Rem wait 1 to 3s until W10 has refreshed the screen :: to create a backup of each of the desktops that we :: Before execution, it is necessary to have executed ReIcon

:: This file must be placed in the execution directory So with the help of this forum I have found a solution which works fine for me, here after enclosed between

Since the W10 update to version 1703 (15063.726) it occurs each time.
DESKTOPOK DOESNT WORK ANYMORE WINDOWS 10
In windows 10 (64 Pro) I had the "icons disordered" problem from time to time (but never when starting windows ) when I switched back to the first desktop. So.it was just a menu selection problem, no bat file required. If the problems occurs at a different time (not sure why it would) you can restore the icon layout with the "Reload icons from profile" hotkey (Settings > Controls > Hotkeys > Miscellaneous). This way, the location of the desktop folder doesn't have to be changed when you start Dexpot. When Dexpot starts at Windows login, you can probably prevent it by going to "Settings > General" and setting the "Initial desktop" to "Last active desktop". This solution fixes all disorganised icon problems with dexpot, not just the moved to the left icon problems in Dexpot )ĭexpot doesn't move your icons to the left, Windows does. I have copied and pasted the solution here. It's not my solution, but another person's from another dexpot forum. And yes - the 'ol disorganised icons drove me nuts for years too! Luckily I have found a/the solution and it has worked like a dream for me.
