| Great site Martoch, thanks.
Their reg edit to lock desktop icons didn't work for me, but I'm sure I'll get lots of good info from that site.
Thanks again

Fish | Im Just curious, did you reboot after editing the registry? Often times I will reboot to make changes effective. Or did rebooting have no effect as well? | |

Lock Icons On Desktop
You have arranged your desktop to look nicely with your wallpaper. Presently comes someone and mess up the nice arrangement. To lock your desktop icons into place, first arrange it carefully the way you want it to be, then open up the registry editor. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer. Right-click in the right pane and select New, DWORD Value name NoSaveSettings and press the Enter key. Right-click on the new NoSaveSettings item and select Modify. Enter 1 in the Value data box. After this, whenever you restart Windows, your settings will return to their current state. | |
