Solved icons floated around on desktop

[Freddid]

I have a "shortcut icon" problem also: I arrange them in a certain way and find that they've floated around on the desktop, usually happens after the computer has been shut completely "off"/down. I can live with it, but it's annoying and once, long, long, ago it never used to happen! I run Norton 360 quick scan a couple times a day and complete scan at least once a day. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Right click the desktop in an empty spot, hover the cursor on View, click Align to Grid.

Not related to your question, but REALLY?!!! How many times per day do you wash your hands?

I use DesktopOK to remember my desktop icon layout. It automatically restores the layout when I boot and can be invoked at any time to put them back where they belong.

Thanks everyone...up and running with tons of "new" stuff. Thanks to that computer company that's not "Apple"!!! You've all been a big help and it's very much appreciated.
