OT Ping for Heirloom
Greetings O Ancient One.
You have mentioned in several posts over the past decades how you like and use Iconoid. I know that it's nigh impossible to teach an old dog new tricks but you might look at http://users.rcn.com/taylotr/icon_restore.html. I've been using it for a while and you know it has to be simple and fast if I use it. You install it, right click on the Recycle Bin, click Save Desktop Icon Layout. After that anytime your Icons get moved (e.g. cause of Safe Mode) right click on the Recycle Bin, click Restore Desktop Icon Layout. I like this little guy! If you decide to try it be sure and download the "Uninstall Icon Restore" at the bottom of the web page. Take care now ya heah.

OT Ping for Heirloom
Thanks, Job. Actually, since moving to XP, the shuffling of icons is no
longer a problem and I don't even have Iconoid loaded anymore. However, I will keep the link handy for Me user reference. Truth be known, there are other apps that do the same thing. Have you tried the uninstall? Just curious if it removed the menu addition from the Recycle bin (for XP and all of the system icons in Me and prior) in the process....that would be a Registry dig, if not. I don't know why anyone with XP would need it, I have been in Safe Mode a number of times and my icons always come back the same. Maybe I've just been lucky?? Do appreciate you thinking of me......thanks. Heirloom, old and going fast on my bike pulls all the wrinkles out, but, I hate it when I "flap" "Job" wrote in message ... Greetings O Ancient One.
