icons move on desktop!

I am using xp home edition, I am the administrator, when my friend logs

into her username, then I log back into my username, the last 3 columns

of my icons move from the right of my desktop, to the left. All other
icons stay put.
I am only using "align to grid".
This is crazy! How can this be stopped? I have them arrange in groups
so I do like having some on the far right.
Thanks for any ideas!
Ramey

I have an idea that your friend is using a different screen
resolution. Have you tried shifting your grouping of icons 3 columns
to the left?

Re: icons move on desktop!

Sounds like the two user accounts have different screen esolutions... make
them both the same (the LCD's native res).

Otherwise use Icon Restore
http://www.download.com/Icon-Restore...-10163500.html

This useful little app' saves/restores your desktop layout via right click
context menu...

This is nutz.
Isn't the whole idea of multiple users to save ALLLLLLL the preferences so
you return to your account EXACTLY where you left it? Another user's
screen resolution should have ZERO effect on my account.
That's why I have 160MB of CRAP in Documents and Settings?????

The other user has the exact same settings, I agree it should not
matter anyway, but it happens!
