Secure and manage your desktop with Advanced Desktop Shield. This password-protected security utility is a must for public access PCs located in school or university labs, Internet cafes, libraries and other public places where you need to stop users from changing desktop wallpaper and screensaver, deleting, creating and renaming desktop icons, changing display settings and so on.

With Advanced Desktop Shield you can backup, restore and manage your desktop layout and desktop layouts of your users. Desktop layouts are saved to files, which include all files and folders located on the desktop, placement of desktop icons, desired wallpaper and also the screensaver.

If you choose to lock your desktop layout or desktop layouts of your users, every time you or your users reboot your PC, the program will return everything on the desktop back to the original state: wallpaper, screen saver; deleted icons will be recreated and the new icons will be deleted.

Desktop management includes creating desktop layouts for different purposes such as gaming, working, surfing the Internet, and providing different users with their own desktops. Using the program is very simple: just place desktop icons on the desktop to required positions, select wallpaper and screen saver using the Display item of Control Panel, double click program's tray icon and click the Save button to create a new desktop layout file.

If desktop icons ever get moved or deleted by user or after entering the safe mode or changing the screen resolution, just open the program and click the Load button to return the desktop to any previously saved state. If you are in the Lock Desktop mode, simply reboot PC to restore desktop automatically.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
