Lock Your Icons In Place


Lock Your Icons In Place Here's how to make Win95 remember your Desktop settings, even if someone comes along and changes everything. First, set up everything the way you want it. Next, select Run from the Start menu, type in REGEDIT and press the Enter key. In the Registry Editor, find HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. Right-click in the right pane and select New/DWORD. Rename the value NoSaveSettings and press the Enter key. Right-click on the new NoSaveSettings item and select Modify. Enter the number 1 in the Value data box. Click on OK and Exit. Now, whenever you restart Windows, your settings will return to their current state.
