atw: Re: Making desktop icons stick

I like to do the same thing, and I've also been a little frustrated with 
the XP's rigid <anal> handling of the icon's.  I generally just wrestle the 
temporary little blighter's to the end of the line that XP insists on 
maintaining down the left side of the screen.  If I have a number of them, 
I stuff the shortcuts in folder (which allows a tiny bit more flexibility 
to manipulate the shortcuts placed inside) and arrange it at the end of the 
line.  So long as it's kept at the bottom end, it will not try to displace 
other icons and will be quite the happy little veggimite.
I wanna nuklure bomb icon too; I also want a president who can pronounce 
the ruddy word.
