nitro322 Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Forgive me if this is addressed elsewhere, but I could not find it by searching...How can I have my computer automatically set to auto-arrange icons on my desktop? I can't figure out where this setting is stored.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrzycrim Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 See this thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=22555&st=0I had to import the settings for icon arrangement during the second logon. I couldn't get them to work during the first logon unless I imported them into a customized ntuser.dat file. Anyway, the above thread explains it. Hope it helps.

nitro322 Posted November 7, 2004 Author Share Posted November 7, 2004 Thanks, jrzycrim. Looks like exactly what I need.BTW, I figured out why I couldn't find the very obvious thread you linked to - I was only using the Google search, and it doesn't report it. Using the forum search (which I didn't even realize existed until just a few minutes ago) did the trick. Oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrzycrim Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 No problem. The only reason I found it so easily was because I participated in that thread and knew what I was looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbarnes007 Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Here's the tweak to Auto Arrange Desktop Icons (the ex. if for 'by name'.Use: Sort=dword:00000000 by Name, 01 by Type 02 by Size 03 by DateCODE: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Auto arrange Desktop icons, by name[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\1\Desktop]"FFlags"=dword:00000225"Sort"=dword:00000000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 I just tried it, but the values for Type and Size are the other way around here. So:0 = Name1 = Size2 = Type3 = Date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
