2.0/5

The desktop is a personal virtual space where you probably spend more time on a daily basis than outside. Everyone arranges icons in a different manner, keeps the screen at a specific resolution, and gamma at an acceptable level. What DesktopSave wants to do is have your preferred desktop configuration saved so you can restore it at any given time.

After a short and uneventful setup process, a compact window pops up as soon as you run the application. A few self-explanatory buttons are at your disposal to save current, restore saved or undo any changes made to the desktop.

There are more options hidden under the hood and these are revealed when pressing the “More” button. However, these don't provide much control over the situation. In other words, all areas the application keeps an eye on can be triggered individually, with a few details displayed regarding current status of your PC and saved configurations.

Amongst others, you can choose to apply settings only temporarily so they can be reverted automatically, as well as whether or not to apply settings fro all accounts created on your machine. In case unexpected events occur, you can try to restore system default, as the application suggests.

Sadly, only a few areas are targeted and these are desktop icon arrangement, screen resolution and gamma level. A lot of practicality would have come from more options, such as the possibility to save background, or have the status exported to file in order to apply it to other computers as well.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that DesktopSave isn't really what you'd expect, putting a pretty shallow set of features at your disposal. Sure, it's easy to use by anyone, with options to handle sections individually, but only one profile is created and simplicity in this case doesn't help, but rather affect practicality, as well as flexibility.
