ICONS AND MANAGING THEM

This is a very handy piece of free software to take care of those desktop icons that seem to sometimes go where they want to; even after you have placed them where you want them. Notice the footnote for XP Users.
Easiest software that I recall ever using for this purpose.

I've been using it for a while. Works good :)

Sure does.
