What is Desktop Resetter?
Desktop Resetter is a simple program used to store (remember) the icon and
window locations and sizes on the desktop. This information can be restored
(reset) at a later time, should they change or move, etc.
Desktop Resetter is an application only, it uses no extensions or control
panels. This helps reduce the possibility of it conflicting with other
programs. It only operates when you launch it and doesn't effect other
applications other than the Finder itself (the desktop application).
Requirements
Any Power Mac or 68k Mac running Mac OS 7.6 or higher. This program is Mac
OS 8.0, 8.6, and 9.0 savvy! Desktop Resetter works great with iMacs,
Powerbooks and G4's.
What's New in 2.2.1?
Fixes a problem on some machines (especially laptops with PCMCIA cards)
where the desktop was never remembered. This problem was introduced with
2.2.
No need to re-register whenever a new update is downloaded from this point
on.
An 'Extras' tab was added to the settings box. This lets you choose how
Desktop Resetter remembers the icons on the desktop. It also allows you to
turn the grid options of the desktop back on after a reset. Some users have
problems with this (where the icons would go back), so it is now your option
to have it on or not.
What's New in 2.2?
Desktop Resetter now remembers icons and windows even if they have the
same name, or if the name changes! Older versions didn't work properly if
icons had identical names.
Fixed a bug in OS 9 where buttons wouldn't be reset. It should now reset
icons and windows regardless of the configuration of the monitor.
The popup windows should work better with multiple monitors when
resetting.
Added more menus to allow more control with Desktop Resetter, and now
there are default buttons in the dialog for power users.
All new icon. If you are a veteran Desktop Resetter user, it may not show
up until the next time you rebuild your desktop.
Many minor fixes and enhancements.
