I am a windows user with two windows monitors. I tend to have shortcuts on my desktop ordered in a way unique to me. There are times that I either accidentally sort my icons, or Windows mess up when my monitor goes to sleep, and they all move around.

My father is a software engineer who wrote me a small application the backup and restores desktop icon positions, that works over multi-monitors, by merely keeping a save file of the coordinates of each shortcut on the desktop.

Seeing this feature would surely be helpful to others, and thus I request this feature.
