[AlternateDesktops.cmd] - UPDATE - rotate between diff sets of desktop icons - ImDeepWithWindows - Aug 15, 2016

lets your windows user switch between having different sets of icons as your desktop icons

--
basically the update is that it also adds it's self as a desktop icon to the alternate desktop icon sets to make switching back or switching to a different one easier cuz u can just click on it
--

if you already have version1 on your comp for version2's update to take effect you have to open up command prompt in the folder version1 is in and run
Code
AlternateDesktops.cmd -remove
then run version2 and the update will work


good for if you have private files you want to keep on your desktop and hide/show whenever u want or if your desktop is too cluttered and you want to start over with it but you don't want to delete those files and want to be able to come back to them as your desktop icons later

hackforums wont let me post the code in this post, aparently its triggering a code-injection blocker but its right here {AlternateDesktops.cmd's code}

just like in version1 to remove all the changes the app made to your user completely open up command prompt and type
Code
AlternateDesktops.cmd -remove
