Hi programmers :)
Here's the thing,
Every time I update my video driver, my desktop icons get thrown all over the place, so...
...I'm hoping someone will throw together a quick package/(virtual desktop) that is:
- A webpage, that I'll keep on my computer, on which icons(shortcuts) can be moved around. If it can hold program files(or automatically create shortcuts to all files in a specific folder) all the better.

Then I'll use that as an active desktop.
Each time I redo my video driver, I just reopen the active desktop, and voila!
- all my icons, exactly where I left them.

Thanks...hopefully :D (***hoping***and so more hoping***)

What about this...?

It's not exactly what you were thinking, but does the job all the same, and is really probably better than trying to use the Active Desktop junk.
