How to save my desktop icon state?

[obee]

Hi there,

I used to have a feature that came with an old video card's display properties manager that enabled me to save my desktop icon state, and then restore it, in the event of the icons being scattered around my screen.

My new video card does not have this feature. Is there a way to do this manually, or a shareware program that will do this?

LOCK DESKTOP ICONS [+]

"In Windows 95/98/ME you can lock down the position of the Desktop icons, using a couple of files from the MS Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit.
Place Layout.dll in C:\Windows\System and then double-click on Layout.reg.
From now on, whenever you right-click on the "Recycle Bin" or "My Computer" icons, you can see a new option: "Save [or Restore] Desktop Icon Layout".
There are several 3rd party tools that also do this, but these files are free and only 14 KB in size:"
