I'm aware of alternative programs such as Desksave (I personally use one called DesktopOK). But the point is, it's a feature in PowerPro that out and out doesn't work when IMO it really should be fixed so it does. I understand that there have been desktop changes. However, if other programs can do it then PP should be able to as well. My problem with using the third party programs are that I haven't found any that are command line driven so I can't map a PP command to it to say "program.exe -restore_position -allicons", know what I mean? PP is starting to wind up not being the one-stop shop it always was for me, and I can't see that changing until x64 compatibility is introduced. Everything else appears to work - menus, rolling up windows.. I don't get why the simple location/positioning of icons on a desktop is a fail point. Cheers Dhry
