Who keeps re-arranging my desktop items? Having 30+ items I arrange them in (to me ;D) a logical order. Infrequently on reloading I find they have been re-arranged. Why is this happening, can I stop it, if not, is there a way to save the arrangement so that I can easily get them back the way I want them?
It's a Windows thing. :( It happens, especially, if you use system restore I find.
Take a look at this for a variety of cures:

Not sure if it's mentioned in Rik's link, but there's a very simple solution, which I use myself, to be found here:-

I don't think it does, Simon, useful link - thanks. :)
Thanks for the help, I've used Simon's suggestion. Of course I will only know if it works when and if my desktop icons get re-organised again. ;)
That's the great thing about Windows, we never know when we've cured a problem. ;)

You never cure the problem it just migrates to a different area of windows ;)
Cynic. ;)
It's my job, I look after around 1200 Windows pc's :o
I'm amazed you can still stand, Glenn. :)

Just for fun, save them, then mess them all about, and watch them magically restore at the click of a mouse! ;)
