Desktop Icons Prevent Windows from Rearranging them After a Re-boot

Do you find it aggravating that windows re-arranges your Desktop Icons just when you have them to your liking?

This problem in Windows 7, and can usually be quickly resolved by right-clicking on the desktop and choosing View, Then un-ticking/checking “ Auto arrange icons.” If that doesn’t work, then you’ll need to apply a fix in the registry. First, backup your registry following the steps in my tip

1. Press [Windows Key] + [R], type REGEDIT and click OK. 2. Navigate to the registry key:- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer 3. Check in the right-hand panel for a registry value called NoSaveSettings. If it exists, right-click on it and choose Delete. 4. Repeat step 3 for the registry key: HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer 5. Repeat step 3 for the registry key:- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer 6. Repeat step 3 for the registry key: - HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Program Manager\Restrictions 7. Close the Registry Editor and the problem should be resolved
