I'd be willing to help if i can... but I don't exactly understand what it is your asking for.. i.e.:

- do you want the icons to appear on your desktop automatically on an install?

- do you want the icons to appear in those positions? (in which case, no idea here)

- " " the selection focus given to those icons when you log in? (don't think thats poss. via registry)

- " " something else that I'm completely missing?

helo spiritpyre

thanks for you

i want the icons to appear in those positions

might be a registry value (if so probably one of the big hex strings like the toolbar & taskbar settings are stored in) but I'm not sure which one. I've always wondered how to do this via the registry but never had any luck. On the other hand, there are several programs available that do this for you (and who knows maybe you could use RegShot to monitor one and figure out which key is being modified).

I did a quick google search and found this freeware: Restore Desktop 2.0 but even better I found this: MSFN: Windows Icon Restore Program, Icon Restore

hope that helps. good luck

Check if these keys might be it:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StreamMRU]
