    Off-topic idea/need

    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 (***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.
