Question about 'Why don't folders remember their position, sort order, or icon size?'

I have a question about Why
don't folders remember their position, sort order, or icon size?:
Apparently microsoft has developed a way in which the computer plays stupid, thereby
perpetuating discernment on your part and asking "how.why". Here is an example. When
first started to use xp every time i tried to open a folder or file, I would get
the response.windows cannot open this file or foldr. would you like to go on line
etc...I was ready to throw my system out the window until my wifes dad( a computer
genius,literally, explained to me that you direct it to the appropriate container.
either note pad or word pad and it magically opens it, the only thing is that it
DOES IT EVERY TIME!!!!!tTheir is some one a very small person that lives inside of
every xp computer.That is just one of thousands of tricks it uses to make you think
it is stupid. Why? s
Simple,it wants to run your computer it and microsoft.dont get me wrong it is better
than 98, but definitely not worth the trouble of swithching if you use nt or 2000.j
just a thought

Removing Shortcut Arrows on Desktop Icons
This is my first time at Annoyances.org and I'm wondering: You've got a list of questions
regarding why the position of program icons on our PC's Desktops won't 'Stay-Put'
- yet I've not seen one explanation or answer from you regarding this query - so,
what's the freakin' use of this? I can't lock my Desktop because I use Transparent
W, and locking the icons overides the Transparent software - so, yea - their moving
around all over the place and it's a real drag. If all you've got are questions without
any answers - that's an 'Annoyance'!
Using WindowsXP, DELL Dimension 3000, I really need this software again (had it
on WinME system) but can't seem to find it in your site - and I've been all over
the place in this thing looking for it. Would you please help me out with this?
