"IDEA"  From time to time I like to reorganize the positions and layout of my desktop icons and wondered if anyone knows of a simple routine that will restore the positions of the desktop icons back without having to manually restore them to where they were before being changed.   Also, just "very" occasionally, some conflict or other cause has resulted in my icons on bootup being all messed up and I have to usually restore them back manually.

I could of course use System Restore but that's not always convenient especially if the problem with the icons becoming disarranged coincides are happens shortly affter installing Microsoft Updates which means using System Restore requires the updates to be redownloaded and installed again when a simple little routine which keeps track of, or saves the desktop icons and their positions would be very handy indeed for me.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

As far as TextAloud is concerned, the best AT&Tvoice is without doubt the English Accent version of Audrey.   It's very easy to assume if you're a USA citazen that the natural choice should be a voice accent from your own country, but quite honestly, I'm Scottish and there isn't a good Scottish Voice accent available.   I genuinely recommend anyone to try Audrey as it is both very pleasant to listen to, easy to understand and it sounds more akin to listening to someone with an english speaking accent on the phone rather than most other voices which still seem to have a trace of the alien about them.

Preconceived ideas are nothing more than old ideas, and if we are to embrace change, we need to learn to give time, time; that is; time for time to work. Change seems to one of those things that the vast majority of people are naturally resistant to, yet when we become conscious that the more we embrace change, the more our lives become enriched.  My motto is, don't look for the differences, look for the similarities between us and change becomes much less threatening.
