Icons rearranging after reboot and refresh. Dont know why this is happening so please help......... I think it might be a registry thing. I added unallocated hard drive space and put it into my C drive... if that helps. I do not have it in auto arrange...... Thats a pretty basic mistake.......

I've downloaded a program that did the whole icon restore thing about a year ago, but it still bugs me and like I siad before I think it might be a regestry thing which probably means that there are even more problems that arent noticible.... hmmmm I think im ranting right now srry..
