Vista - How to lock the order of the desktop icons?

Is it possible to lock the order of the desktop icons? My computer is
connected to the monitor by the VGA cable and to the television by the
DVI/HDMI cable. If I change display settings (such as resolution or default
display), Windows may change the order of the desktop icons. I would like to
have the icons always in the same order.

In Windows, when screen resolution changes, the order of the desktop icons
very often gets mixed up. With DeskSave it is quite easy to recover a
previously saved icon layout either manually or automatically. Software
developers are given the opportunity to test their applications in different
screen resolutions without disarranging the desktop icons.

Thank you for the tip. I tested the program but it doesn't always restore
the order of the icons correctly. However, the order is easier to correct
manually after DeskSave has tried to restore it.
