Default Locking desktop icons in Vista x64?

I'm tired of having to occasionally rearrainge my desktop icons...

Is there any x64 app or utility that will save my desktop settings so I can restore them if needed?

I know there are a bunch of utilities out there for XP, but I haven't seen any that work 100% correctly in Vista.

No, but that page links to ShellIconRestore, which works perfectly, and with two desktops, and does not need to be "installed"...

Thanks! +rep!

Iconoid x64 is under ShellIconRestore. Glad it helped anyway

Yeah, I downloaded them both, but after seeing the file contents of both archives, decided to try ShellIconRestore first, and it works like a charm... so no need to try the other one... and it doesn't have to be installed... I'm a big fan of that.
