File location not directory or path 1

Is there a way to get the location data of a file, for example if i place a file on my desktop in the top right hand corner, is there a vb6 way to delete that file and then recreate it in that exact location ie...top right hand corner ?

The desktop is a ListView, so you can use the API to interrogate the ListView. For example you can send the LVM_GETITEMPOSITION message via SendMessage to find out where a specific icon is located, and then use LVM_SETITEMPOSITION to place it in a different location

This is very good, thank you.
