IDEA: Lock icons in place on desktop

(1/6) > >>

Josh:
I want a simple program that can lock all icons on my desktop to their current position. My daughter is learning to use a computer and it is annoying when she moves all my icons trying to double click on her dora the explorer game icons. Any ideas for this?

mouser:
i've seen some freeware tools that do this.. i'll try to remember the names if no one beats me to it.
