Does it? @Rob – If you have the program installed, then it should give the actual website under the Help menu item. Does it?

The homepage that CNet link to is definately not the correct one One thing I have noticed is that this program doesn't appear to play well with dual monitors. I'll try Iconoid. @Jojo: The CNet download link did not work for me, so I searched around until I found a d/l link that worked. The homepage that CNet link to is definately not the correct one

One thing I have noticed is that this program doesn’t appear to play well with dual monitors. I’ll try Iconoid.

However, I always like to download products from the actual author, not a secondary website like CNET (in this case). So using the website CNET points to for the author, I discover that it appears to be in German only and is advertising a variety of choices for telephone sex and no mention of this product, history or any updates. I would be cautious of this program. I will skip the install myself. Meanwhile, you mentioned a program called Iconoid back in early 2007 that can do this task (among others) also. http://www.ghacks.net/2007/01/16/beautify-your-desktop-icons/ Looks interesting.
