Restoring file position on the Desktop
hmann@SAL9000:~/Desktop$ cp .DS_Store .DS_Store_backup
hmann@SAL9000:~/Desktop$ # SORT BY NAME - IRRITATING MISTAKE
hmann@SAL9000:~/Desktop$ cp .DS_Store_backup .DS_Store
hmann@SAL9000:~/Desktop$ killall Finder
hmann@SAL9000:~/Desktop$ # EVERYTHING BACK WHERE IT BELONGS
hmann@SAL9000:~/Desktop$
This also works for copying old .DS_Store files out of Time Machine backups.
