Every time I log on to my second (XP Pro) computer from a remote computer, I
change all the positions of the icons. Grid is locked. Under saved desktop
icons I chose custom and named the file. Where is this file?? How do I keep
the icons locked up? Restore desktop icons is only default setting. How do I
restore Custom or default settings? Thanks for any help. regards Rick
