This works, is painless, and FREE: Courtesy of Jorge (j_walker7@hotmail.com). "In Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP you can lock down the position of the Desktop icons using a couple of files from the MS Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit [5 KB, free, unsupported]. Place Layout.dll in %windir%\System (Win95/98/ME) or %systemroot%\System32 (WinNT/2000/XP) and then double-click on Layout.reg. From now on, whenever you right-click on the "Recycle Bin" or "My Computer" icons, you can see a new option: "Save [or Restore] Desktop Icon Layout". There are several 3rd party tools that also do this, but these files are free and only 14 KB in size." If you can't find the files (Layout.dll & Layout.reg) then email me at rangergord@phreaker.net
