    Is there a auto arrange desktop icon hotkey?


    Hello,

    I know that you can right-click on desktop > view > check "auto arrange icons", but is there a shortcut/hotkey button that currently exists? I would like to just push a single button to quickly line them up for me, I do not want the auto arrange to be turned on always, just when the icons get a little bit out of control and needs a quick sort.

    Is there a hotkey that does that already, or does anyone have a idea/solution where a shortcut with that functionality can be created?

    I actually like to move all of my icons to the PUBLIC desktop folder and not the other way around as I use multiple logins to the same machine for various reasons. I use a batch file to do this.
    Really you only need the one line: Call oIt %UserProfile% but I have the other two there for my convenience.

    Code:
    Set __COMPAT_LAYER=WinXP RunAdAdmin
    Call :DoIt c:\Users\Glynr
    Call :DoIt c:\Users\a
    Call :DoIt %UserProfile%
    pause
    
    :DoIt
    If Exist "%1\Desktop\*.*" Move /y "%1\Desktop\*.*" "%Public%\Desktop\"
    
    :Quit
    @Exit
