Thanks Chris,

We don't want to hide the icons, just not have the user the ability to move
them around. At the very least if, that's not possible, then if they log
off and log back in, the desktop will "refresh" and icons will retain their
position. Currently we have the desktop locked down so users cannot add or
delete items to it.
