If you know the grid spacing, you can create a BMP with grid lines and set
it as wallpaper...
The grid spacing can be found in desktop properties: right-click an empty
space on the desktop, select "Properties", click "Advanced", and look at
the values for "Icon", "Icon Spacing (Horizontal)" and "Icon Spacing
(Vertical)" in the "Item" drop down list.
To get the grid size, add the "Icon" value to each of the other two.
You can also find the values in the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control
Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics, values "IconSpacing" and
"IconVerticalSpacing".
These values are negative and expressed in twips: divide by 15 to get the
grid width and height in pixels. You don't need to add anything now.
