[AlternateDesktops.cmd] - UPDATE - rotate between diff desktop icon sets - ImDeepWithWindows - Sep 1, 2016

--
the code of it is triggering a code-injection-blocker so i posted it {here} which is where all updates to it will be if there are any
--

i made a update to the user interface and such i cant edit my old post to show that and more importantly how it looks and explain how to use it (not that it needs explaining its pretty self-explanatory once u run it) im gonna post all that here

--
explanation: basically it lets your windows user switch between having different sets of icons as your desktop icons
--

(all alternate icon-sets also contain the app as one of the icons so its easy to switch to which ever set you want including back to your windows-default icon set)




heres an example of using it:
when u open it it shows an small into msg about containing its effects to only your windows user, after you tap the spacebar it re-sized the window and continues to the app

than as an example i selected Icon-Set1 by hitting the "1" button on my keyboard and it shows

i continued, and it asks

i chose not right now, so it continued back to the selection menu

its pretty simple to use

to undo the changes it made to your user (a registry value & added folders to use as your alternate desktop icon-set file shells each with a copy of it's self in them) open up command prompt and type:
Code
AlternateDesktops.cmd -remove
