Does anybody know how to do this with a Netware server? We have a
Netware 3.12 server which will distribute the desktop to machines
running Win95 locall; through Policy Editor, I was able to restrict
what the user sees and centrally manage the desktop. The only setting
I canno't seem to save centrally is the icon arrangement that I want -
everytime the user logs in, all the icons appear in columns on the
left. Is this done through USER.DAT? I need to find a way which makes
it easy to rearrange icons or add shortcuts if need be.

Feel free to respond be email. Win95 is great as a networked desktop.
