icon question

[eGGz]

Hi all,
First I put my desktop icons in the order I want.
Then after rebooting Win2k rearranges them. (in order of most recently used) I hate this !
How do I get windows to leave the icons where I want them ?
Win98 does not do this.
Thanks for any help in this matter.

By switching Auto-Arrange off?

(Right click the desktop, choose Arrange Icons, and make sure Auto-Arrange is unclicked)

Hi CitrixEngineer,
Thanks for responding. Unfortunately Win2K rearranges my desk top icons after rebooting with Auto Arrange checked or unchecked. Has anyone else noticed this annoying "feature" ? Or is it just me ?

Sounds like a profile issue. Understanding user profiles

A user profile defines customized desktop environments, which include individual display settings, network and printer connections, and other specified settings. You or your system administrator may define your desktop environment.
Types of user profiles include:
· A local user profile, which is created the first time you log on to a computer and is stored on a computer's local hard disk. Any changes made to your local user profile will be specific to the computer in which you made the changes.
· A roaming user profile, which is created by your system administrator and is stored on a server. This profile is available every time you log on to any computer on the network. Any changes made to your roaming user profile will be updated on the server.
· A mandatory user profile, which is a roaming profiles that can be used to specify particular settings for individuals or an entire group of users. Only system administrators can make changes to mandatory user profiles.

I'm sure the answer to your question can be found with you system administrator, as it seems that your organization has policies in effect that are causing this. ________
