Re: Safe Mode "shuffles" desktop

Rich;
Thanks!
Works reasonably well with the only (minor) problem that it sticks my taskbar on the
bottom of the screen (I prefer it hidden at the top) and moves the bottom-most icons
upwards (I suppose because of the taskbar relocation).
But, as I said, that's minor compared to what has been aggravating me!

Again, thank you.
