    Desktop icon position


    When using Windows XP I used a little program called "Icon Restore" which saved and restored the position of the desktop icons. This program does not work with Windows 7 - 64bit (32bit is supposed to be OK). Is there a way to either use the old program or get the same results in another way?

Hey, everyone! I was just wondering if it is possible to, when downloading stuff to the desktop, change the default position of where they go to. For instance, let's say that your desktop is empty, if you download something to it, the downloaded thing will appear at the top left corner of the...
Made a Revouninstaller shortcut icon and placed it on my desktop. Then renamed the Revouninstaller icon to Revo, and pinned it to the taskbar. The position it took was that of the last icon in the row (far right, just before the System Tray starts). However, when trying to drag/drop into...
