I got to thinking it would be nice if I could pre-designate the positions of my desktop icons during the unattended install process. {I like to put my Recycle Bin in the bottom right corner of the screen for example}

Is this something that can be done? Is there a tutorial somewhere maybe I could look at?

When you logon to a system, move the recycle bin to the bottom right corner, logout.
then use for that user the ntuser.dat file, place that on the newly installated system in the c:\documents and settings\default user profile and for every user that logs in, the recycle bin is located on that position.
