Sorry if this thread is in the wrong place but I don't know where to put
it.

How come every so often on my desktop my icons get rearranged?

Is there a bug in my system?

Thanks

That has been a Windows bug forever. Goes back years, never has been
addressed.

Several things can cause this. For example if you change your
resolution, dumb as dirt Windows will "forget" whatever arrangement
you had your icons in and push them all to the left in rows.

I repeat again... Microsoft does not know how to write good software.
Everyone knows it. Well everyone but the clueless fanboy crowd that
foolishly think Vista is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Right click the desktop and under 'View' check that 'Auto arrange' and
'Align to grid' are not checked then put the icons where you want them.
