After playing some games the icon arrangement on the desktop changes.
Not a major problem, but irritating.
Is there any way to lock in the desktop pattern?

Hi Robert,

Have you right clicked your desktop to "Arrange Icons by"
both Auto Arrange, and Align to Grid? If so, you may also
want to ensure that you use the same resolution on your
desktop as you use inside the games. I use 1024x768. :-)

If you don't want to lock yourself into an Auto-Arrangement mode, look for
something called "WinTidy". It is a very nice little PC Magazine utility
that does exactly what you are looking for.
