I've looked through the Pricelessware lists, but may have missed what
I'm after - if indeed it exists.
I'd like to arrange the desktop icons (most on the left where the
default is) but some on the right. I'd like to be able to delete any
shortcuts that appear (I'm not the only user) and then rearrange back to
how they were, but to not have to drag everything around each time.
Does such a utility exist ?

Thanks

I think iconoid is the most reliable one, at least on XP. You want the
positions tab.

I assume sillyware is OK in ACF.

Also, don't forget to clean your icons

Most contemporary icons are produced with great care and
attention to detail. However, being subjected to repeated clicking and
constant bombardment by cathode rays, they tend to deteriorate over
time.

In order to maintain their graphic integrity, it is recommended that the
following procedure be followed at least once every six months:

1. Remove the icon from the monitor, being careful to handle it only by
the edges to avoid pixel damage.

2. Soak in a lukewarm, soapy solution for 5 to 10 minutes. Do not rub or
scrub, or pixels may be shifted, resulting in serious disintegration of
the image.

3. Remove from bath and stand on edge to dry. Under no
circumstance attempt to dry with a rag or lens tissue, and never subject
to blow-drying, or permanent damage may result. If more than 5% of the
pixels have been lost, replace icon with a new one.

4. Carefully replace cleaned icon in monitor, taking special care not to
touch the surface.

5. Allow to set one hour before using. If icons need to be
exchanged from one computer to another, they should be
transported only in specially prepared icon cases available at any
computer or electronic supply store.

Remember, icons are the heart and soul of the Windows
environment, and should be treated accordingly.
