Desktop Icons Keep Reverting.....

[John Arnold]

OK.....I'm a long-time XP user....Dell 2.8 ghz, 1.5 mb RAM, etc.

I recently switched video cards....ATI 9800 Pro.

Suddenly, my desktop icons revert to a "sorted" position upon boot-up.
Looks like a "align to grid", but not quite. Handling desktop icons is
something I learned long ago....(I even know what DOS is).....so being
stumped is stumpifying! Thanks for your help....

Yes, I've right-click on the desktop and no, I do NOT have "align to grid",
"auto arrange", or anything else checked in the menu. I've tried and
tried.....alas, it keeps realigning every time I boot. A pain, to say the
least.

Oh....also ran Norton Utilities Win-Fix, etc.

Nothing fixes....

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I would see what ATI has to say.

ATI sends me to Microsoft....

Hi John,

Set them as wanted, then run this edit. Good luck and keep us posted!

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
