Is there a Windows API for getting the positions of the icons on the Desktop?

Is there an API or a database/settings file/registry for getting the positions of icons on the Desktop?
If you wonder why I want that, basically I want to create a replica of Desktop in my app for my personal use, so that I could access those icons, when multiple windows are open, without using the "Show Desktop" feature which minimises all windows. The problem of Window's "Show Desktop" is that if I opened a new window by clicking an icon on the desktop, performing "Show Desktop" again does not restore all minimised windows at once.
On macOS, I did not have this problem, because pinching-out with 4 fingers showed the desktop without minimising opened windows. It just temporarily moved them out of the screen, and pinching-in restored windows to their original states, even if I had opened a new window by clicking an icon on the desktop.
There are other ways to access those icons, without using "Show Desktop", like opening the Desktop location in File Explore, but then the icon locations are not the same as the Desktop, so it is difficult to find the item I want. Enabling multiple virtual Desktops, and switching to an empty Desktop to click the item is one way, but then it gets opened on that Desktop and I would have to move it to the other Desktop.

In Visual Studio how do I copy the 'Full Screen' icon to the toolbar?

Under the View menu, there is a Full Screen entry that I would like to see on the toolbar all the time. When I enter full screen mode, the icon is automatically placed on the menu bar but then it disappears when I leave full screen mode.
[Menu] View/Toolbars/Customize... doesn't allow me to drag the icon to the toolbar
When I use Eclipse IDE, I can simply double-click the tab to put it into full screen mode - if there was a way to configure Visual Studio to do the same, that would be ideal...
On the Customize window navigate to the second tab and find the toolbar you want to edit:
Use the Add Command... option and find the fullscreen command in the View category:
Use the Move Up and Move Down to position the button where you want it.
When you go into Customise..., click on the Commands tab.
Then click the toolbar button and scroll to "Standard".
Then click Add command, then View and then Fullscreen and it should be added!

jumplist not showing up on the pinned icon (c++/cli - windows 7)

When i pin my app to the taskbar, I don't see the jumplist when the app is to running.
Jumplist: recently opened files that show up when you right click on a taskbar icon in windows 7.
When I run the app, a new taskbar icon opens, instead of the same icon. The jumplist shows up on the running icon, but not on the pinned icon.
Here are the things I have done..
SetCurrentProcessExplicitAppUserModelID
added the registry items for the file type.
Jumplist works fine when the app is running. Except that jumplist does not show up on the pinned icon.
My questions are:
how do I show the jumplist when the app is not running? or why is it not working? Is it a different registry entry?
Why is windows creating a new taskbar icon, instead of opening on the same pinned icon. (I don't change the AppUserModelID)?

How to enable scrolling when input panel is open in windows phone 7

I am developing an application for windowns phone 7. On the screen I have 4-5 text boxes and at the end I have created one button. Now when I enter data for first text box, input panel gets opened. Now unless and until I close the panel, I can not scroll further. I want the functaniolality that even when the panel is open I can scroll and can click the last button.
Note: I am creating all the controls at runtime. Controls are not created by drag and drop the control from tool box.
Put controls into ScrollViewer. When TextBoxex will be in scroll panel, you can scroll them up and down without closing a SIP.

Windows Explorer favorties as buttons?

I use the favorites in Windows Explorer quite often to gain quick access to deeply nested folders. But I find it quite annoying always have to click the Favorites button in the menu and then search the favorite I'm lookig for in the dropdown.
Is there anyway to add specific favorites as buttons to Windows Explorer?
I'm using XP x64.
Thanks for any help!
How about this? In Windows Explorer ...
View > Toolbars > UNcheck 'Lock the Toolbars', if already checked
View > Toolbars > CHECK 'Links', if not already
Now position the new toolbar where you would like it, by grabbing, dragging and dropping
Now you should be able to click on Favorites from the menu then click on the shortcut you would like to make a button, hold and drag that menu item link to the links toolbar.
You should now have a button that will do what you asked for. :)
