    I thought Maxie's suggestion in post #3 was a good solution too.

    And btw - I think nobody was trying to bash you. I guess we just did not understand your problem.

    Downloading to the Desktop goes back aways to Win95 but that can get things cluttered. Win7 and Win8 create a Downloads Folder in Windows Explorer [File Explorer on Win8/8.1] in the left panel under Favorites or the actual Folder is in C:\Users\user-name. Most browsers can be set to point to that Folder in their Options or Preferences.

    It wasn't showing as such when I logged in. Guess I'll go on to something else.

Well on boot now it forces a bunch of icons up one row now and to actually move them back you have to set the task bar to auto hide move them then unset that, then they stay where they're meant to be. If you try moving them while the taskbar is normal they refuse to go there as if the taskbar is...

Desktop icon position

When using Windows XP I used a little program called "Icon Restore" which saved and restored the position of the desktop icons. This program does not work with Windows 7 - 64bit (32bit is supposed to be OK). Is there a way to either use the old program or get the same results in another way?
