Default Where are the desktop icon settings stored in 98se?

Hello anonymous,

What file and where is the setting for the icons?


Although its not directly talking about Win98, I don't think it could hurt
to take a peek he

https://superuser.com/questions/6258...sitions#630734

, in particular the registry path:

They are located in the registry under
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\1\Deskt op.

The key that should interest you is the ItemPosXXXxXXX
(where XXX is your resolution).


(HKCU = HKEY_CURRENT_USER)

If its there you could save the whole "desktop" subtree, but also just
one-or-more of those "ItemPosXXXxXXX" keys.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
