SUMMARYWhen you select the Save Changes option while exiting the Program Manager, the layout of the open group windows is saved, but the layout of the closed group icons is not. These icons are automatically reorganized at the bottom of the Program Manager the next time Windows is run. You cannot save their screen positions, but you can save the order in which they appear on the screen. MORE INFORMATION

Procedure
Technically, when you minimize an icon, its "order" is saved in a "Last-In-First-Out" (LIFO) stack. When you select Save Changes and run Windows again, Program Manager reads the LIFO stack and places the group icons in the window from LEFT to RIGHT, BOTTOM to TOP. This LIFO technique is the reason the group icons were in reverse order after step 6. Additional query words: 3.00 win30 3.00a
