Ooh, who got out of bed the wrong side this morning? To do what the OP
wanted - i. e. keep desktop icons where they have been put - I'd say
both are fine; your iconsaver is probably another such. (I've just

both of the above, though I'm not sure what you'd need hotkeys or an
icon position editor for.)

I've also found that the icons get shuffled unexpectedly a lot less in
XP than they did in '98 (even lite).
