// Function saves icons layout automatically every some time
// Number after M means active monitoru count that layout is for
//
// It's needed for me since I enable monitors on demand with monitor profiles
// and icon saving its not relevant to monitor but overall desktop/multiple monitors
//
// * You may want to disable Icons save notification in Advanced Settings
// * If you want to start this function with logon put that into autostart
//	<PathToDisplayFusion>\DisplayFusionCommand.exe -functionrun "Icons AutoSave"
