     GREETINGS AND CONGRATULATIONS from Greatis Software!

Thank your for your interest Desktop Keeper.
What is DesktopKeeper?
Everybody wants to arrange the desktop icons in the way best for themselves!
 
Dont YOU? 

Personally, I dislike the way the Windows auto Arrange icons function
does the job. It seems to me I manage them much better and, naturally,
Id like to let the product of my genius last.

As for my little son, he loves to operate the Windows desktop icons
while playing. I used to enjoy watching him playing games, until I
found some of the icons missing and others in total disarray.

I've tired of the daily routine of reinstating them.  

Besides my youngster, I have another desktop "enemy" - Windows itself;
the program that rearranges the icons each time you dare to make
video-mode changes.

So, I created this software, named DesktopKeeper.

What it does:

 saves icons layout and shortcuts from the Windows desktop to a file.
The filename is automatically composed, taking into consideration the
screen resolution, current date and time;
 restores the shortcuts and icons layout out of the file;
 checks if the desktop layout has changed in comparison with the previous saved file;
 works with Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000;
 hides/ shows the Windows system icons on the desktop;
 hides/shows all icons on the desktop;
 sets transparent icons text for Windows 95/98/NT4/2K;
 blocks the desktop unauthorized access (by hot-key or popup menu);
 minimizes all opened windows;
 closes all opened windows;
 launches the screen saver (by hot-key or popup menu);
 quick changing screen resolution;
 two virtual desktops: working and private;
 hot key to maximize windows.

We hope you like this software.
