Desktop Icon Sorting Arrangement

I don't use desktop icons much, except for temporary files, but even so, it would be very useful for me to be able to set the default arrangement in a different fashion than seems to be available in the Desktop View Menu. I would like to have all icons arrange horizontally, starting at the top of the screen, rather than vertically, as seems to be the design.

I know that I can turn off the auto arrange function and place the icons in that fashion manually, but when I reboot, some will remain horizontal, while others go back to vertical. I also know that I could turn off aligning to grids, and they probably would stay horizontal, but I would like to let that remain active for ease of arrangement.

To accomplish that, it would be necessary to tweak the default arrangement from vertical to horizontal in the OS. I went through the tutorials where I think this would be, if possible, but found nothing...is it possible?

Thanks, I didn't try the tweak in your last post, but I did install Icon Restorer, as suggested. It does seem to work...at least the icons were where they should have been after rebooting once, but I'm not sure that was due to Icon Restorer or not, because it appears that it is designed to restore by using it's functions manually. That is better than before, but ideally I would like to tweak the OS's layout so that it did it automatically all by itself. I guess that would mean changing the grid lines to horizontal, rather than vertical. It seems that was possible in older Nvidia drivers, but I found nothing like that now.

I also use Object Dock for arranging most icons. But like I said, the desktop icon arrangement is for managing temporary icon placement, since I frequently use the desktop as a parking place for items that I'm actively working with, rather than having to go hunting for them in the file system.
