DesktopOK 12.41 by SoftwareOK is a lightweight Windows utility designed to preserve and reinstate the exact placement of desktop icons whenever display settings change. Originally created for users who frequently switch screen resolutions—such as designers, presenters, and IT staff—the program quickly captures the current icon layout to an internal profile and restores it after graphics-driver updates, docking-station swaps, projector connections, or remote-desktop sessions. Beyond simple snapshot-and-restore logic, the tool offers automatic save intervals, selectable tray-menu profiles, and optional password protection, making it equally useful on single monitors, multi-display workstations, and high-DPI tablets running Windows 11, 10, 8.1, or 7. Because the executable needs no installation and stores its settings in a portable INI file, it can be carried on a USB stick to keep any borrowed PC’s desktop arrangement intact. Additional functions include minimizing all windows to tray, temporarily hiding desktop icons for screenshots, and displaying grid coordinates for precise manual rearrangement, all accessible through a minimal German/English interface that consumes less than 300 KB of memory. DesktopOK belongs to the desktop-enhancement category and is currently offered in one maintained release line, version 12.41, which remains compatible with every supported Windows build. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
