The icons on my desktop page always put to the left of the screen
My OS is XP Home edition and as the title suggests the icon all go to the left, little matter what settings I use.
Auto arrange
snap to grid
lock web items on desktop
and it is not a difference how to sort the icon is
This happens whenever I have "disconnect" and reopen it. Also when I get off but by clicking on "change user" with the "lock web items on desktop" enabled. If I do not activate, so I seems to work, but if I stop, restart or logout icon all go left, little matter that parameters, I chose.
Any help will be fully welcomed. More details the better BTW.
Thank you
Hi Bullitt7,
· You did changes to the computer before the show?
Make sure you have turn off the Auto Arrange icons. To do this, follow these steps:
a. right click on the desktop, point to view, and then disable option Auto Arrange icons.
You can create a new profile on the computer and check if the problem persists. If this is not the case, the other profile is corrupt. To create a new user profile, you can see the article mentioned below for the procedure.

Let us know if that helps.
The only changes I made was that I deleted Norton 360 anti virus program and installed AVG free anti-virus. Some potentially also removed the virus files. Other profiles 2 user work well. I'll try what you suggested above by creating a new account. Wish me luck and I'll let you know what happens

THE DESKTOP ICONS WON'T STAY WHERE I PUT THEM
I tried to combine some icons on my desktop in the way that suits me, but I often find that they won't stay where I put them.
Sometimes they simply will not sit when I try to put them (especially near the perimeter) and at other times, after that I did something else, when I go back on the desktop what they moved.
Thanks for that.
That was the problem.
When I opened the menu as you have suggested, "align icons on the grid" has been selected.
When I removed the tick that solved the problem.
Thank you kindly.

Every thing seems to have returned to normal, but when I restarted my computer all the icons on my desktop and all programs in the start menu disappeared, and yet, all programs are always in: Control Panel > add/REMOVE programs. I can still connect to the internet by going to-Start > my computer > view > go to the desktop. How to get back all the icons on my desktop. I tried a click right, but in vain. I also ran a scan complete antivirus. any help would be appreciated.
Thank you Joel S. Before I could put your advice into practice a friend recommended a friend who advised me to do a system restore, which he said he would be happy to do it for me. So look like an easy option, I agreed. It seems to have solved the problem (fingers crossed), but now it seems that I need to format the hard drive. If you have any tips on formatting hard drive I'm all ears. Thank you Owen

The desktop icons to go to the left of the screen on reboot.
I had already read the thread "Windows 7 for moving desktop icon", but can't respond to it because it is "locked". So here I am.
Mine started about 4 days (after some questionable sites surf?). All my icons have been splashed against the left side and have been small to medium size. Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus running did not help.
I saw all 8 pages of the thread and made note that Microsoft's Watch, but only to divert tangential Seraph to start new discussions. Nothing to help us multiplied.
I ended up cut and paste solutions of the thread to Word and seen ~ 12 different "solutions" that has worked for some but not for others. I ignored any comments about 2 monitors or an external monitor on a laptop. With all this, my conclusion is that the glitch must be multi-causal.
I would say that if you have a lot if the icons that group them you inside new folders to avoid displacement and the removal of several dozen distinct icons like patches are tempted. I reduced the number of icon to only 8.
I started trying the simplest fixes first.
1 uncheck Arrange Auto did not help
2. right click on the desktop to refresh would push any icon I had moved to the right at the original on the left and always position at a specific position. By pressing the F5 key did the same.
3. While holding down the SHIFT key while rebooting did not help.
4. I had Avast antivirus but changed to Ms Security Essentials last year.
5 drag the icons so they align horizontally at the top of the screen did not help.
6. I went to personalize > ChangeDesktopIcons and not AllowThemesToChangeDesktopIcons. Did not help.
At this point, I was looking for in Control Panel to see what graphics card, I had (Nvidia? ATI radeon?) When I had the revelation.
Always to go were the following:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/save-and-restore-desktop-icon-layout-in-Windows-Vista/
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
get rid of the Windows 7 library feature
Enter "System Configuration" and unchecking the various services at startup
http://www.computing.NET/answers/Windows-7/desktop-icons-keep-moving-in-Windows-7/5758.htmlThe Epiphany in the Panel: my glitch had only 3-4 days and I could do a system restore. I could go back to June 21, well before the glitch. This led to reset and my icons were returned to the position and the original size. The new cases were there although many of the icons that I had placed in them were in their former positions. For now, I'll keep records and reduced the number of icons.

My Facebook plays also up I don't know if this is related ie the back page of scrolling to the top window to appear if I sometimes type a comment... this window is of my debugging tools to sub title debugging not fun right now. Also page Email going mental when all this happens. I tried refreshing Firefox and it maybe helped a little... but again... going all the foregoing. All of the suggestions.
