Why the Icons of the Desktop change their position?

[Guest Alberto de Oliveira Alves Filho]

Hello,

 

I have reinstalled my Windows XP and I have noticed that when I restart it

(after putting it to "sleep" - I don´t know the proper world in english)

some of the Desktop Icons change their positions (and sometimes leaving

empty spaces where they where before), and I have to put them where I left

them before.

How can I solve this problem?

I´m waiting for your feedback.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

 

Try right clicking on your desktop > View > Uncheck 'Auto Arrange'. This

will stop the icons from automatically getting arranged, if that indeed was

the problem.

 

Hope this helps.
