The late @Jscript made a script that played with the icons and then back to the places of origin, maybe you can adapt to your needs:  https://mega.nz/#!RIdyUaKT!w1RF3yVnpM27fLM3a1v3hilVQlP2frEPXpwDv_sacNs

Its quiet simple.

I want to activate both the yellow marked items

OK, haven't tested, but take a look at THIS and THIS.

The desktop is nothing but a listview displaying icons (check it with AutoIt info tool) , so you can easy use the dedicated funcs
This works nice for me (w7 x64)

#include <GuiListView.au3>

$h = ControlGetHandle("Program Manager", "", "[CLASS:SysListView32;INSTANCE:1]")
_GUICtrlListView_Arrange($h, 3)  ; param 3 = snap to grid

 

[svenjatzu]

This should work perfectly

thanks alot

 

Well just saw it aint work yääi
