Hey if you perform the above process that has been mentioned than snap to grid for desktop icons will be turned off and not the gadgets. I doubt you are looking to turn off the desktop icons. As per my knowledge, it has been built up inside the gadgets executable i.e., sidebar.exe and thus it is not possible at all to disable it. Hence, Microsoft has taken a straight attribute and restricted its effectiveness due to lack of preparation.
