Wondered if he meant programmatically ? (which is likely anyway a choice
that is best left to the user rather to be forced by an application).

I agree - IMO settings like that are in the user's "personal space,"
and messing with them will only make the user upset. After all, what
would you do if opening Notepad rearranged your icons or changed your
wallpaper?

Thanks,

I create an application to test userw capabilities about using Windows XP.
Thats why I want this option.
I Know how to count desktop icons, or to sort them but ican't auto arrange
them. Is there an API or something else?
Thanks
