OK i have this really annoying problem with windows 2000. Everytime my desktop refreshes, the icons get into ABC order!!! I want my icons to be in a certain order and stay there, not have to worry about having to line up the icons or manually arranging them. Basically, is there a way to lock up my desktop icons so they stay in the same spot all the time ?????
