How do I lock in my desktop icon arrangement? I have re-arranged them a
dozen times, and after a few bootups, they always change. I have "Lock Web
Items on Desktop" selected, and have "Auto Arrange" unselected. I also have
"Align to Grid" selected. Nothing I do seems to help. I just recently
migrated from Win 2000 Pro to XP Home. Help!!

Use the edit on Kelly's site, line 188, "Add Save & Restore Desktop
Layout to Menu" at http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

See the beginning of the page for information on running the edit.
