Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Can UMon save/restore two different sets of desktop icons ?

Hi,

The ability to save the position of desktop icons is great, but would I would like to do is the following :

When applying a dual head profile on my laptop, restore the position of icons as they should be on my 21" display (primary).

When switching to single monitor (laptop only) I would like to restore another set of desktop icons positions (to fit the laptop's smaller display).

As I understand UltraMon can only save and restore one set. Correct ?

Thanks
Stephane (trial period)

That is correct, UltraMon only saves a single set of icon positions. Support for multiple sets is planned for UltraMon 3.

You could still use UltraMon to load multiple icon position sets, to do this you would need to export the icon positions from the registry to .reg files, then load the appropriate .reg file before restoring icon positions with UltraMon.

Let me know if you would like to do this.

Yes please,

If you can tell me what keys/values to save I can write a VBScript that does it, unless you already have such a script in which case I'm highly interested.

Thanks a lot.

Also, I plan on buying a license (still on trial now) but I'd rather wait UltraMon 3, do you have a planned date for its availability ?

Thanks for your work, I appreciate UltraMon.

You'll need to save the 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Realtime Soft\UltraMon\Saved Positions\Icons' registry key.

You could export the registry key to a .reg file with regedit.exe, then put the following in a batch file to apply the saved icon positions:

start /wait %windir%\regedit.exe /s "C:\Temp\Saved Icon Positions.reg"
"%ProgramFiles%\UltraMon\UltraMon.exe" /r


I don't have a release date for UltraMon 3 yet, but the final version is at least a year away. Beta releases will be free upgrades.

I would also like the ability to save multiple icon positions with various profiles. Currently there's a "Save" icons button, could that be a "save as" so different names could be given to different sets of saved icon positions? IN the saving profiles section there's a ckeck box for "preserve position of desktop icon" will there be the ability to link a profile to a set of desktop positions?

If Ultramon is purchased now will ultramon3 be a free upgrade?

I'm also currently a trial version user. I have a 17" and a 19" wide monitor, I use the two monitors for different purposes and am looking for software that will easily switch between the resolutions but also the desktop configuration. Many many types of software are available for switching between displays but I haven't found anyone that handles switching icons between displays very well.

Support for this will be considered for UltraMon 3, thanks for the suggestion.

3.0 betas would be free upgrades, but the final 3.0 release only if it were released within a year of your purchase.

I was browsing a local sports news portal when a small banner caught my attention during a lunch break. I had just lost a bit on some cricket predictions and was feeling quite down. I decided to try Plinko to see if my luck would change with the slots online and online casino bets they have for the India market. After a few more initial losses that nearly made me quit, I hit a massive multiplier. I recovered everything I lost and had plenty left over. I'm satisfied.

Ik was online op zoek naar iets nieuws en kwam spin granny casino
tegen, vooral omdat het design meteen opviel. Het zag er een beetje grappig en ongewoon uit, dus ik wilde het testen. In het begin speelde ik zonder plan en verloor ik meerdere rondes achter elkaar, wat me even deed twijfelen. Daarna ben ik mijn aanpak gaan aanpassen en wat voorzichtiger gaan spelen. Op dat moment activeerde het spel een speciale fase die alles sneller en interessanter maakte. Daardoor bleef ik toch langer spelen en werd het veel spannender dan ik had gedacht.
