Hi all, ,
Have noticed recently that when i turn on my laptop, the icons have all moved around from where they were the night before.
Its completly random and doesnt happen at all at times but tends to be after microsoft installs updates.

I am not anal about my icons lining up in a certain order but its a right pain in the butt when it happens.

Any ideas anyone ? ?

Although I can not tell you why they are rearranging themselves - I can offer a solution.

When you right click on the desktop and select view, is it checked for 'auto-align' icons?
