Tarzan: Shame of Jane capitalized on this trend. It took the core dynamics of the Tarzan mythos—the feral man, the sophisticated city woman, and the untamed jungle—and flipped them into an explicit comedy-adventure. Unlike the high-budget, family-friendly animated features that would dominate the late '90s, this production relied on standard television-grade cell animation, a quick production schedule, and a distinct underground comic art style.

While it may not be as well-known or widely regarded as other Tarzan films, it remains an interesting footnote in the history of the character. Tarzan: Shame of Jane capitalized on this trend

I wrote this program after severe frustration of having my layout trashed every time I switched screen resolutions. Sometimes other programs will switch screen size and trash your layout as well. This program is an answer to this problem, and I thought other people might find it useful too.
TIP: Even with Desktop restore installed, does Windows seem to scramble your icons now every time you reboot, or press F5 to refresh? If so, after you restore your icons the way you want them, manually move one icon a space or two over and then move it back. After that Windows should remember their placement for a much longer time.
