Desktop icons keep rearranging

[andy_bl]

Hello, we are using win 2003 server with AD and roaming profiles. Our client
pc's are all XP SP2.

However, On one computer, the desktop icons keep rearranging from time to
time.
I have noted the settings from the desktop and they are as following:
- Align to grid is checked
- Show desktop icons is checkec
- all other options are UNchecked

The graphic card is a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290

any additional info can be given if possible.

Can anyone please help in with any suggestions? Without the use of third
party software as only this computer has this problem..

thanks in advance

This can happen after the machine has booted into Safe Mode. You can take a
snapshot of the current desktop layout, then restore it when necessary - see
