How to Backup and Restore Desktop Icon Layout in Windows 10?
Is there anyway to update an existing Icon-Layout versus having to always Save changes to a new Icon-Layout? For instance - I recall (restore) Icon Layout-#1 and make a small change. Now I want to save it back to Layout-#1. Currently the only way I know to do this is to create/save a new Layout with the change, delete Layout #1 and then got back to this new layout and rename it with what Layout #1 was called. Is there an easier way of doing this?
