Re: icons will not stay where put

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Right click Desktop | Arrange Icons By |
UNCheck: AutoArrange and Lock Web Items on Desktop

AutoArrange
[[Arrange the icons in columns along the left side of your screen.]]

Align to Grid
[[Snap icons into place as designated by an invisible grid on
your screen. The grid keeps the icons aligned with each other. ]]

Lock Web Items on Desktop
[[Specifies whether Web content windows or items that you have placed on
your desktop are locked in place and can’t be moved. Select the check box to
lock Web content in place. Clear the check box if you want to be able to
move Web content.]]

If Lock Web Items on Desktop is checked...
Items can be moved, but they are moved back after reboot.

Hi
after locating icons on desktop where I want them to be
in few days they will line up back on left side where I took them from
I was trying to watch for any events that may have triggered this abnormal
behavior but unsuccessfully
autoarange is unchecked , align to grid is checked ...
what else should I be looking for?
would a logging of different user have anything to do with this?
please help if you have idea what may be causing this
thanks Magic
