Hey thanks a lot for this one mate.
I have downloaded and tried a few icon sae/restore utils lately – since I started messing with Windows 7. some of them just refuse to work on win 7 but others look like they are working but then, when you test the restore function the icons go to the wrong places!
So I am really hopeful for this one as you say it works with Windows 7 so can’t wait to try it.
I use my TV connected to the graphics card and watch a lot of stuff that way..which also involves changing the resolution when changing which monitor to view on. and this always causes icons to go all over the place afterwards!
Cheers, bookmarking your site too, useful!
