    How can I lock individual shortcuts and folder on the desktop?


    How can I lock individual shortcuts and folder on the desktop?

    So say my main icons and folder are at the top right of the screen and I never want to move them.

    I want it so I can click on the auto arrange thing to sort out the rest of the icons but leave these ones there....

    Can this be done in W7?
