Why the Icons of the Desktop change their position?

[Alberto de Oliveira Alves Filho]

Hello,

I have reinstalled my Windows XP and I have noticed that when I restart it
(after putting it to "sleep" - I don´t know the proper world in english)
some of the Desktop Icons change their positions (and sometimes leaving
empty spaces where they where before), and I have to put them where I left
them before.
How can I solve this problem?
I´m waiting for your feedback.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Try right clicking on your desktop > View > Uncheck 'Auto Arrange'. This
will stop the icons from automatically getting arranged, if that indeed was
the problem.

Hope this helps.
