Vista - Desktop icons keep neither their size nor position

Desktop icons keep neither their size nor position

Fresh install of RC1, Nvidia FX 5200 card. I put the icons on the
desktop where I want them (sidebar is disabled, btw) and change
their appearance to "classic", but when I (re-)start Vista, they are
lined up at the left side again (and again...) plus their size is rever-
ted back to default. That's annoying. I've already reported this as
a bug. Anyone else observing this?

What video card do you have? I don't remember this happening
on my laptopwozh an ATi card (had to wipe the installation due
to other problems).

Re: Desktop icons keep neither their size nor position

Same here. Highly annoying. I'm using an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500.

Re: Desktop icons keep neither their size nor position
