How move desktop icons to system group?

[George]

I'm using WinXP-pro, and wondered if it's possible to (sort of permanently)
move a desktop icon next to icons like "Recycle Bin" and "My Computer". I
think this might be called the systems group. Sure, you can just drag an
icon (shortcut) there, but if you right click > Arrange icons... the moved
icon simply goes out of there and back to the right side with all the
others.

I thought maybe there's a way to open up Explorer and drag it in some
special systems folder, something like...

Rt click My Computer > Explore > Local disk (C > (unsure what folders
next)?

Thanks,
George

That first group of Icons comes from the registry:

"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace"

or

"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace"
