Windows 7: Moving desktop icons

Moving desktop icons

I have Windows 7 and I like to see my icons arranged sensibly over the screen and not all lumped together on one side.

The problem is that every time Windows 7 restarts they are all back in one jumbled mess on the left hand side.

Please note - I have right-clicked the desktop and I can assure you that "arrange automatically" is NOT ticked.

Any suggestions?

To each his own, but I really dislike desktop icons, and never place any there except temporarily. You might take a look at ObjectDock, and see what you think about using it for launchings programs. It's best feature is that it hides off screen, until you need it:
