im put through the arduous task of updating my video card drivers and i heard before that there is some kind of computer program that remembers your desktops' icon layout and it either keeps them there, or it lets you revert to that very same layout if you changed something you don't like

does anyone else know of the program im talking about (it either had the word fence in it, or it was a play on words with "fence")

It's a MS Windows Resource Kit tweak. It just backs up you icon layout.

Do not delete layout.dll - it is an operating system file!
