I have my desktop icons in the order I want them in but I can't figure out how to lock them in place. I want to set the icons so that if one is moved it snaps back to the place it was moved from immediately. Thanks in advance.

BTW I'm using Windows XP Pro.

If you right-click the desktop and hover the cursor over "arrange icons by" you'll be presented with various options to control your desktop icons. Probably "auto arrange" is what you are after although be aware that it will stack your icons from left to right and top to bottom. Hope this helps.

There is no option to artistically arrange them on screen and then lock them there, however :(
