Anybody know how to get the exact (X, Y) position of a file on the
desktop?
 
Do you mean an icon on the desktop?

Hi Henrick,

This is not going to be easy, because it will require some Windows API work
or other Interop to do. Basically, everything you need is in the Windows
Shell, and that's not available through any existing .Net namespaces. Here
are a couple of good references for you:

The MSDN Windows Shell Programmer's Guide:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...atform/shell/programmersguide/shell_intro.asp

The Code Project - C++ Shell Extension Programming. Lots of articles and
sample code:
