ok. So I cut and pasted this into VB6, and no go. &nbsp;Is this for VB5? &nbsp;I've never even seen VB5 so I'm not sure what the differences are?

this will work fine in vb6. the problem is that when u cut and copy from and html page, long lines get scattered,and u'll get compile errors. which u can easily rectify. and the code of form1.frm given above should be pasted into notepad and saved as form1.frm and then add it to the project (after removing the default form1.frm in the project). and the code of declare.bas u can directly paste it into a module in the project. i can mail u the vb project file if u want.

Can anyone tell me how to find the current position of all the icons on the desktop? <br />
<br />
I'd like to create a small app to store the layout of the icons and allow me to restore them at a later time. &nbsp;

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
