On my computers, Icon Shepherd does not wait for a screen change before it takes a snapshot of the icon positions and remembers it. The app takes a snapshot every few minutes. I have been unable to find a setting to slow down the frequent snapshots. That has been happening for years. I have finally decided to stop using Icon Shepherd.
Icon Shepherd does work a charm and is a great fix for the Microsoft Windows icon moving problem. If your icons randomly move around your desktop, then I would recommend you install this genuinely good application.
The 4/5 stars, however, is because of why I had to delete Icon Shepherd. As good as it is, Icon Shepherd did NOT like my double monitor (laptop and monitor) and would always switch the 2 screens around repeatedly, making my PC unusable for the first 5 minutes after it booting up. I thought it was a problem with the HDMI cable, however it was the application that was unfortunately the issue. Just a heads up for any future double monitor people out there! A great application nevertheless.
Was VERY glad to discover this app. Was so tired of my desktop rearranging every day. Not only did the rearranging slow to only about once per week but putting it back was just a click to fix. If you're having the same problem, you need this app.
