Could Windows 7 be investigated further, pls?

I'm using the command-line version of DesktopCmd in a BATch file, and the Save function to a file seems to work fine in both XP Pro SP3 and Win7 SP1 64-bit.
The Restore function in XP also appears to work well, but I'm getting the same sort of problems as other users have reported in Windows 7 SP1 (specifically, in my case, the 64-bit variant), where most of the icons are restored correctly, but a small number are mislocated.
It looks as though the Windows 7 Restore problem hasn't yet been cracked by the author of DesktopOK (at least), and DesktopCmd at least makes a pretty good stab of the Restore function.
Please could I encourage Mr O'Connell to revisit this specific area, and see whether he can bottom out the problem? I and many others would be exceedingly grateful for a Final Solution to the poor showing that Microsoft has made of desktop icon fixing.
In any event, Thanks Very Much for DesktopCmd!

Can I second this. But for the GUI version too.
Like most of us using Windows 7 Pro 32bit, the restore simply doesn't work (or is it the save isn't working?)

Is it possible you folks have Auto Arrange checked? If so, windows will always fight with Desktop Restore no matter what you do... Turn that off!

Good grief, no! I have gaps in the icons on the left (i.e. empty locations) and a column of icons at the right-hand side of the screen which would all migrate together in a clump at the left, if I'd had AutoArrange on!
And my further point was that other icon-restoring software doesn't seem to have completely cracked this problem in Windows 7, but that yours seems to be the closest...
