Thanks! I used Tweak UI and locked them down. But when I did that, I
lost the transparency to the fonts. Can I still keep the
transparency?
Thanks!

Lock Web Items on Desktop is the command. You may also be missing Show
Desktop icons and Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard.
If you have TweakUI...
TweakUI
[+] Explorer
Allow Web content to be added to the desktop
[[If this is unchecked then the ability to add Web Content to the
desktop will be disabled.]]
Show Desktop Icons will not display if you have unchecked:
Allow Web content to be added to the desktop
in TweakUI.
You will *not* see:
Right click Desktop | Properties | Desktop tab | Customize Desktop
button | Web tab
Or....
Right click Desktop | Arrange Icons By | Show Desktop Icons
Also, *.jpg files will not be listed in...
Display Properties | Desktop tab | Background
TweakUI sets NoActiveDesktop to 1 here...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Value Name: NoActiveDesktop
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: 0 or 1
0 = Allow Web content to be added to the desktop
1 = Don't allow Web content to be added to the desktop
If you do not have TweakUI, see this for the fix...
"Show Desktop icons" and other options missing in the Desktop
right-click menu

I tried to set Lock Web Content on Desktop -- I went to the desktop, >
right click > Arrange Icons By > ... but there is no option to LOCK
the web items.
How can I lock down the icons I place on my desktop?

If Lock Web Items on Desktop is checked...
Items can be moved, but they are moved back after reboot.
If Auto Arrange is checked...
The icons are arranged in columns along the left side of your screen.
Right click Desktop | Arrange Icons By |
UNCheck: Auto Arrange
UNCheck: Lock Web Items on Desktop
Auto Arrange
[[Arrange the icons in columns along the left side of your screen.]]
Lock Web Items on Desktop
[[Specifies whether Web content windows or items that *you* have
placed on your desktop are locked in place and can’t be moved.
Select the check box to lock Web content in place. Clear the check
box if you want to be able to move Web content.]]

Dear All,
There is an anomaly which the desktop icons re arrange themselves
when refresh (F5) or reboot. Rearrange icon option is off.
Any remedy?
Thanks.
