Shock Desktop is a Windows application to manage the desktop icons. Users can create profiles which save the current icon layout of the desktop. Loading that profile again resets the desktop to that icon layout. It happens for instance that icons get moved if the user changes the screen resolution. This can be undone with the application.
Another feature is the ability to display the desktop icons if windows or applications hide them. The hotkey CTRL Q displays the hidden desktop icons and the user can interact with them normally.
One click hides the text of the files and icons and another the complete icons which might be nice if you want to take a screenshot of your desktop for instance.
The last function is not that practicable in the daily work routine but I could think of some applications for it. It is possible to arrange the desktop icons in certain forms, like hearts, stars or triangles. Create a heart for your loved one for instance but be prepared to undo the changes as well.
