Desktop Icon placement

Recommended Posts

I would like to know where the coordinate information is kept in windows XP?

Is it in the registry someplace?

I know there are a few programs that store and can restore a desktop

But I would like to write my own.

I have ideas on how to make some cool icon placement tools.

I have great reason to believe it is stored as a stream in the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop.

At least in windows 2000, but it might be similar for xp.
