[[Icons - Lock on Desktop
"In Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP you can lock down the position of the
Desktop icons using a couple of files from the MS Windows NT 4.0 Resource
Kit.]]

[[Microsoft's Layout.dll (free) file, which is included in the Windows NT
Resource Kit, can be installed on Windows 2000 and XP systems. This adds
the Save Desktop Icon Layout and Restore Desktop Icon Layout options to
the pop-up menus associated with system icons like the Recycle Bin and My
Computer. It's a bare-bones solution that lacks the useful frills found
in EzDesk, but it gets the job done.]]

[[Make Desktop Icons Stay in Place
1. Download the zip file that comes from the Windows NT 4.0 Resource
Kit. Don't worry! It'll work with your Windows XP machine.
2. Copy the files in the .zip file onto the desktop. Then place
Layout.dll in your WINDOWS\System32 directory.
3. After the layout.dll is in the right directory, double click on the
layout.reg file.
4. Right click on the My Computer icon on your desktop. You should see
two new commands: Save Desktop Icon Layout and Restore Desktop Icon
Layout. Use them to save and restore your icon arrangement. ]]

Anybody know where I can find the (applet?) that adds the ability to
save and/or restore desktop (icon) layouts into the "recycle bin"?
Beleive it may be in a Service Pack but can't find it!
