windows desktop icon
I dont use auto arrange to organize my desktop icons . I have them spread on my desktop in my own haphazard way. THe question is how to I lock my desktop icon so they remain where they are. I played with the auto arrange and align to grid option but they dont seem to work. Icon keep moving on me. Moving because I accidently drag over or for some other reason

Link in the above thread. You can create a simple shortcut to c:\Dips.exe R, and it will auto restore the layout... Almost madatory if you RDP into this machine, and you have multiple monitors (where all the icons shift to one side....). Nothing runs in memory...
