    Icons Arrangement is lost at Desktop


    Hello!

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate.
    Sometimes, when I open my pc or when the screen goes black (because I left the pc untouched for some time), the arrangement of the icons at the desktop is lost.
    As a result, all the icons are gathered at the left side of the screen.

    What can I do, except for using a program that saves the arrange of the icons( and restores it when I do it)?


    Thank you for your time!

    Happy Holidays!

    rt click on desktop; assure arrange to grid and auto-arrange is unchecked.

    sometimes if Windows7 has to unexpectedly shut down, it thinks something is corrupt and on restart might not set the desktop items to the same layout you had them arranged in--not sure the solution for that.

    Arrange to grid is checked.
    But at XP there wasn't any problem like that, that is why I am worried.
