    I do not know if this is a Vista thing but simply a Windows anomally.

    Every once in a while the icons on my desktop go askew and rearrange themselves.
    I do not know if this happens when I run a cleaning or defraging action or an update or ???

    When this happens it is irritating because I compartmentalize my desktop icons in categories of functions.

    How can I stop the computer from rearranging my icons at will???

    Thank you Tallin.
    I downloaded the Retina software and will figure it out over the next few times I have free for computer time.
    I will close this thread and I hope others will benefit from your wisdom and expertise contained in this post at other times down the line.
