Well I am plagued by the same problem in XP as I was with win 98 and ME, I just thought XP would actualy be able to deal with it, I guess not.
I have a specific I con arangment for myself which I arrived at form years of experince. This arangment is not regular in any way so any kind of windows sort would destroy it completely. The problem is that if some program lowers the resolution when it runs or I do, then my icons get rearanged to fit the new resolution, but when I go to y normal resolution, (1024x768) my Icons stay in the order of lower resolution. I alwasy store a print-screen picture of my desctop just so i know were the icons are but it is very tedeous to have to rearange them. So I would definetly like to know how force windows XP to use my specific Icon arangment as default. I can lock the desktop but that is not good as i want to be able to change it if necessary and be able to restore my view. Sometimes in ME I could just restore the registly and it would restore my icons but not in XP.
A much biger problem arizes in XP with multiple users as the main upgrade account keeps the Icon order but all new accounts including the administrator have the windows aranged Icons and it takes a long time to rearange them manualy on every account I have or will create.
BASICALY I want to be able to set up a default Icon arangment of my main user account and extend it any and all current and future user accounts as the default and then that user can change it as they please.
Please help, as this is very important to me.
Thank You
