After I arrange the icons in my desktop, and I restart windows xp, they tend to regroup to the left side of the screen and not around the desktop area where I want them. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Arrange your icons the way you want them, then right-click the Desktop, select "Arrange Icons By" and uncheck "Autoarrange". Your icons should remain in place the next time you restart.

Did you only those days acquire some application?? See whether that's in the activity supervisor and hit end activity. additionally try this with different classes you do no longer ought to run good now. each and every so often while you're making use of two anti virus apps they'll combat one yet another and lacking icons is a symptom. you ought to run an outbreak examine ideally in secure mode.

Make sure you have align to grid selected [when you right click, arrange by ...], and not autoarrange. Hope this helps.

i'd like to know that myself. i have been wanting that for 11 years
one thing that does help is if you want frequently used files to stay at the top add a 1- to their filename like below
1-file.txt
if you want it to stay at the bottom then do this
z-file.txt
