- GREETINGS AND CONGRATULATIONS from Greatis Software!
-
- Thank your for your interest DesktopKeeper.
- What is DesktopKeeper?
- All-in-one software that includes a lot of useful and totally unusual features!
-
- History of creation.
- Personally, I dislike the way that the "Windows auto Arrange icons" function
- works. It seems to me I manage them much better and, naturally, I'd like to
- have 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 my icons.
-
- 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:
-
- · Blocks unauthorized access to your desktop;
- · Creates two virtual desktops: working and private;
- · Allows to quickly manage opened windows on the desktop;
- · Changes wallpaper on your desktop by smart wallpaper manager;
- · Fast creating and printing and e-mailing screenshots.
- · 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;
- · Hides/ Shows the Windows system icons on the desktop;
- · Hides/Shows all icons on the desktop;
- · Hides/Shows the Windows taskbar;
- · Sets transparent icons text of desktop icons;
- · Minimizes all opened windows;
- · Closes all opened windows;
- · Launches the screen saver;
- · Quick change the screen resolution;
- · Provides a hot key to maximize any window;
- · Provides a hot key to minimize any window;
- · Automates the crearting of useful shortcuts to your desktop, start menu and
- quick launch bar;
- · Smart cycling the opened windows on the desktop;
-
- DesktopKeeper works with Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP.
-
- We hope you like this software.
