What is ReIcon?
ReIcon is portable freeware that enables you to save and restore your desktop layout. If you frequently change your screen resolution (e.g. to play games or use applications that require a specific resolution), you are probably familiar with the problem of your desktop icons being jumbled into a mess after you switch back to your normal resolution. ReIcon solves this problem by allowing you to save your desktop layout and restore it later with the click of a button (or with the right-click context menu).
ReIcon is very easy to use. Set your icons the way you like them, save the layout, then restore this layout later when the need arises.
Benefits: – Save your favorite icon layout for each resolution – Save many different layouts – It’s portable, no need to install anything – Unicode support – Easily add “Save/Restore Icon Layout” to the right-click context menu – CMD support (at CMD, type ReIcon /? for help) – Align icons to Grid – this allows you to snap your desktop icons to a grid, similar to Windows’ Auto-Arrange feature)

Wonderful. Put your Icons in order, save them with this, move a few around, test this out. Worked fine and easy for me.
It's a pretty easy to use app. Compared to DesktopOK, it's offering to create shortcuts to restore layouts easily. However, its UI is lacking an option to update existing layouts which kills the purpose. Layouts use an internal ID which cannot be changed or updated. It is possible to update existing layouts from command-line but DesktopOK can also restore and update layouts this way, so it's just as hard to use except that DesktopOK's UI can actually update layouts.
it works great at restoring the positions of the icons, but i miss a function to handle and restore deleted icons too
