I can successfully place my desktop icons where I want them, in groups
around the screen.
But when I restart XP, they appear in their correct positions, but very
soonthey flick back to the default vertical columns.

Very irritating. Do you know how to fix it please?

Right click on a clear part of the desktop.. select 'arrange by', then
uncheck 'auto arrange'..

Good luck
 
Thanks Mike - I have been trying that, but without success.
The trouble is that the icons stay put throughout the session, and also on
re-starting. It's only after all the background tasks have started up that
they suddenly ping back to the auto positions.
I suspect I 've got a fault of some sort.

Uncheck Auto Arrange
Then, uncheck Align to Grid
Move the icons where you want them.
Recheck Align to Grid.
Reboot
 
Thanks - that's worth a try.
