Is it possible to lock/pin icons in place in Windows 7? Does anybody know of a way (in Windows 7) to lock/pin the desktop icons in place once you have arranged them?

"Try pressing F5 after arranging or adding icons, or right-click the desktop and click 'Refresh'. That should lock the current icons in place.

Caveat: If you change a document with MS office it'll delete the old icon and generate a new one. I use OpenOffice which seems to leave the icons intact."

"DesktopOK as stated here, supposedly allows multiple icon configurations to be saved and reselected.
