Default desktop icons - change grid offset ?

Or maybe just send some WM_xxxx messages to the dekstop window and see if I
can alter the icon grid that way.


And that turns out to be rather easy: Just walk your way down the desktop
controls until you have the SysListView32 one and than use SetWindowPos to
move it around. :-)

No idea yet how long the change "sticks" though ...

That might be easy for _you_; the above means little to me (-:!

(No criticism intended; I've just stopped - or rather slowed down a lot
- learning new things, at least where I'm unlikely to use them much.)
