Forums -> UltraMon™ -> saving icon position doesn't work
Chris   2008-08-17 16:57
I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar problem to the one I'm having... I run two monitors, one of which is my TV in the other room. Whenever I change the input on my TV, Ultramon switches to one display and the icons that were on my TV desktop are pushed into my primary desktop. The problem comes when I try to restore the desktop icon positions. I have previously "saved icon locations" when both monitors are active and all the icons are where I want them. About 75% of the time when I try to restore the locations, it doesn't work. Occasionally it does.
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas on what is going wrong?

Please try if disabling automatic icon positioning fixes the problem, to do this go to UltraMon Options > General and uncheck 'preserve position of desktop icons'.

With automatic positioning enabled, UltraMon will save icon positions during shutdown, which can be a problem if you shut down the system with only a single monitor enabled (UltraMon only saves a single set of icon positions).

You can still manually save/restore icon positions.
