   Unable to unlock icons to move on screen

   I know there is a way to do it.   
      
   Somehow I managed to lock all desktop and folder icons.  I cannot drag   
   them into any configuration other than those allowed in the menus such   
   as by name, date, etc.   
      
   They are locked where they are on the left side.   
      
   I've clicked everywhere and cannot seem to find a way to undo this so   
   I can re-arrange my desktop or my file folders the way I want it.   
      
   What is the process for this stupid and forgetful person?   
      
   Also, I recently installed "Avast", a free anti-virus that will work   
   on Win95.  Any cance that this might be the culprit?  Actually Avast   
   was working OK for a couple of days and I was able to drag everything   
   before the recent set of circumstances.   
      
   Thanks in advance.   
      
   E-mail responses welcome but also post here for others, please.
