Apple

I'd probably do it like this;

tell application "Finder"

set theList to {}

set theProps to properties of items of desktop

repeat with thePropList in theProps

set theList to theList & {{theName:displayed name of item 1 of theProps, thePosition:desktop position of item 1 of theProps}}

end repeat

end tell

...there may well be a better/faster way - I'm sure folks here will shout if there is!

Good luck

Rob
