Hi,
I am using Windows 7 Professional. How do I lock in to a given position my desktop icons? They move to different positions after several startups. Thank you.

Uncheck "auto arrange icons" and they should go and stay where you want them.DRIVE IMAGING
Invest a little time and energy in a well thought out BACKUP regimen and you will have minimal down time, and headache.

I unchecked auto arrange icons, and it seems to work. Thank you.
