Hi Ian,

Replying to a message of Eddy Thilleman to Ian Moote:

IM>> Where does the WorkPlace Shell store icon positions? Are there WPS
IM>> calls to manipulate this value?

ET> I think in the OS2.INI or in the OS2SYS.INI file?

I should have answered this when you first asked. Sorry.

The WPS stores icon positions in an extended attribute of the containing folder
-- either a file system folder (i.e. directory) or abstract folder (also a
directory, but managed slightly differently). The name of the extended
attribute is, unsurprisingly, .ICONPOS and its format is _undocumented_ in the
OS/2 DTK. If you bump into a guy named Henk Kelder on the Internet, he might be
able to tell you the layout. [I doubt it will ever change now.]

Regards

Dave
