Why does my desktop icons keep rearranging?? Is it something that I do that causes it, or is it Vista? For whatever reason everything moves around, and I have to hunt them and put them back where I had them. Is there a way I can make them go back to where I had them?..Vista home premium.

Thanks...Bill

Bill, try this. I have been using this for some time and I love it. You can rearrange it in any manner you like.

Right Click Your Mouse on Your Desktop, Select "View" and See if "Auto Arrange" has been Selected. It is an option in Windows 7 and Vista is Probably the same

Align to grid just means that things have to line up when checked. It doesn't control ordering or (re)-arrangement.

Auto Arrange is what you are looking for..

The only other time where your icons will automatically rearrange is when your user profile gets re-made. In the system log of the event viewer, do you see any errors regarding your profile?

Always something to consider..
