I have my desktop shortcuts arranged into what I consider logical groupings.
Occasionally many of the shortcuts get moved around, disturbing my groupings
(and me as well). I think this happens when an application adds a shortcut to
the desktop programmatically -- as opposed to my adding a new shortcut
manually.

Is there a desktop property that I can tweak to keep this from happening?

TIA,

Phil

Thanks for your reply, Rey.

The tweak you suggest works just fine!

Thanks for you reply, Jake.

I don't have "auto arrange" selected, but thanks for suggesting that
possibility. I didn't even know there was such an option.
