Move specific desktop shortcut to different location on the desktop


Recommended Posts

I have a 'desktop arrange' routine, and part of it is to move the recycle bin shortcut to the downright corner on the desktop (with raster enabled). The starting arrangement is always the same as the one you can see on the picture, except for the fact that more or less shortcuts might exist before the recycle bin. However, the recycle bin is always the last shortcut of the bunch.

Most actions can be done quite easily with keyboard keys, but drag and drop doesn't seem to be one of them. The closest I've come is to use the Num Lock keys to simulate the mouse actions, but then I still need a way to find the coordinates of the recycle bin shortcut.

Or perhaps there's a different way alltogether...

Hoping for some suggestions! :)

KeyMs92,

A while ago KaFu and I wrote a utility to save/rearrange the DeskTop icons - you can download the latest version of ICU – Icon Configuration Utility from his site. :)
