Couldn't you do this with a combination of GetDesktopWindow and EnumChildWindows looking for the registered window class of Explorer?

Yes, that is exactly what the snippet does. Found it 10+ years in an MSDN-Article.
As far as I remember, it even extracted the folder that it is showing...

I still have the code, just gimme some time 😁

For someone's Reference:

• devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/?p=4933: Manipulating the positions of desktop icons
• DesktopIconManager.cs

This thing enumerates the Desktop Icons 🚀

I got IShellWindows.FindWindowSW working. See implementation in unit tests.
