Hello, my name is Kaycee and I am an IT technician. I just want to share with you how to lock your desktop icons on your computer. There are different types of computer users out there, there are those of us that like arranging our desktop in a particular way (I think I fall in this group) and there are those that do not really care how their desktop icons are arranged. Therefore, this article is for those people who like having their desktop arranged in a particular way and even for those that do not care how their icons are arranged for knowledge reason. This article will help you lock your desktop icons into place so that nobody can disarrange your nice desktop arrangement. To do this, click on start then run and type regedit.
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER then Software then Microsoft then Windows then CurrentVersion then Policies then Explorer. Right-click on an empty space in the right pane and select New, DWORD Value name NoSaveSettings and press the enter key. Right-click on the new NoSaveSettings item and select Modify. Enter 1 in the Value data box. You are done, whenever you restart windows now, your settings will return to their state and your won't have to worry about someone messing up your desktop settings.
A note of warning, the values in the registry editor are not to be changed at will if you don't know what you are doing. It is advisable for you to make a back up of the registry editor before altering values otherwise be sure before you tamper with them because windows can become severely unstable if wrong values are entered.
