| | Sometimes after Reboot als Desktop Icons are re-arranged Hi, I have sometimes the feeling, that Vista is forgetting settings. Sometimes after rebooting the system all icons are rearranged. What can be the cause? Thanks Michael |

| | Re: Sometimes after Reboot als Desktop Icons are re-arranged Hi Carey, the problem is that I arranged the icons in a certain order ... e.g. all Game Icons I move to the lower right corner ... system tools to the lower left ... and in the middle some links to documents I am currently working with. After rebooting, the icons are sometimes automatically rearranged (beginning in the upper left corner) ... that is what I want to prevent.

This should leave the desktop icons where you last left them. Shawn |

| | Re: Sometimes after Reboot als Desktop Icons are re-arranged Hi, the problem was only solved after deinstalling Vista and installing XP again :-) ... the autoarrange etc. was unchecked. I think, I will wait until SP1 vor Vista is available. ... so far i am incredibly happy with being on XP again.

Hopefully when the SP1 is released in the rumored Q1 of 2008, it will resolve your problems. If you are happy with XP and it is doing what you want it to, I would not worry about Vista for now until you just would like to try it again. Hope for better next time, Shawn |
