Is it possible to move icons around on the desktop?
I mean when I have pressed "WIN-D", and then I should be able to drag any selected icon on the desktop to any part of the screen by some hotkeys which map to the arrow keys.

I suppose one can focus the mouse on the selected icon & then use MouseClickDrag. But can I do this without having to use the mouse at all ??

If this is not possible, then I guess I will have to go with the above way, so in that case how do I have the mouse position itself on the selected icon?

I want to get rid of using the mouse completely, so this is part of those efforts Smile

Once I am done mapping all the mouse uses, I'll post all the code here! Very Happy

Long live the keyboard!!! Smile

MouseClickDrag?

Yes, but how do I get the mouse to position itself on the selected icon on the desktop?
I am going to the desktop & selecting the icon with just the keyboard (as I described in the first post)
