Jim,
I am using Windows 98 (dated 4.10.98 - if this helps)
As an alternative, thanks to some very helpful
advice from Deborah Warken, I have now downloaded
Desk Tidy from http://www.zdnet.com/downloads/ which
has this feature (saving the content and icon
positions of the desktop) and more.
However I would still be interested in your solution,
in the case for example where you may have to restore
a system,
Thanks
Harvey Segal
