Windows XP (SP1) scambled my icon layout on my desktop again.  I know there are
a dozen or so icon layout recovery programs, but they only seem to be
preventative, so they would not help me right now.  Normally when this
happens, I just do a system restore, but I did some key upgrades since
my last recovery snapshot was taken and would rather just restore my
desktop icon layout (where icons were located).  What steps do I need
to perform to restore just my old desktop icon layout manually using
data in the "C:\System Volume Information" directory?  I am guessing
that it is in a file like Desktop.ini,
though the files are renamed and for all I know this is stored in the
registry.  Do I need to do a text search for icon names?
