I'm the author of RmDesktopFolderPos.cmd, which just eases the steps
Doug had described at first. I have tested it many times and it has
always worked for me. Moreover, I found out that it has no backdraws
on my systems to remove that entry on every boot or shutdown. On my
main system I don't do that, but it has helped me already 3 times
while I did it also 3 times manually as Doug has described.

My impression is also that it doesn't exactly matters when the entry
is deleted, as far as it is deleted more often as the bug happens.
That means a shutdown or WPS reset is not required after it. I don't
have deatils about it, because that is just my observation.
