Saving your Program Manager display
Save Settings on Exit,
XE "Save Settings on Exit:don't" in the
Options
menu looks like a good way to save your neatly arranged desktop XE "desktop:saving" , but don’t fall for it. If this line has a check mark, click to clear it. Here is the informed way to save your settings. When the view is as you want it, click
File. Holding down the Shift
key, click Exit Windows.
The view stays put. The hard drive will
do something, as the setup is recorded.
The value of this method becomes apparent
when you make a jab at an icon to start a
program, but slide the icon out of
place. This change will be only
temporary. When you start Windows
again, the desktop will be as it was saved by
Shift-Exit.
