Each file that displays an icon (e.g. "FileName") has another file in the same directory called "FileName.info". That "info" file contains the icon imagery & position on the workbench, among other things. A "Snapshot" from Workbench stores the new coordinates in this file. To protect that file, you need to go into the CLI. Go to the directory that contains the info file ("CD THEDIRECTORYPATH"), then type "protect FileName.info -w". This deletes the "w" flag from that file, where "w" is the flag that says the file can be written to. (Oh yeah, doing it this way may only work using 1.3.) —Mike
