Oh well, back to the drawing board...
When you say they are scrambled, are they all being re-aligned to the left side in columns?
Is your dispaly size changing too?

Dale,
Yes, by scrambled I mean they all go to the left side of the screen in columns and are placed wherever Win7 decides to put them!

No, the display size never changes!

However, today when I booted up and went to InconRestorer and did another "restore," they returned to my last saved state. Last night they would not restore even though I did a restore three times!

As you so eloquently put it one time "Gremlins," don't you just love'em...

Re: Windows 7 Question ...

I'm sure you will tell me you have already looked at these but anyway, when you right click on the desktop and the window pops out there are two selections for the icons settings, one being the "View" which on mine I shows I have "Medium Icons" selected and only one item ticked which is "Show desktop icons" all other tickboxes are clear.
The second selection after right clicking desktop is "Sort by" from this selection I don't have anything ticked.
What settings have you got for both of these selections ?

Roy,

The only thing I have different from your setup is I have "align to grid" ticked...

Re: Windows 7 Question ...

I found this if you want to try it, do so at your own risk, it seems it rebuilds the icon cache. Although this link states Vista it is also for Windows 7.

Dont click the download link, thats an advert for another program, read the instructions below it and decide if you want to try it.

Might be an idea to create a restore point before trying it.

Re: Windows 7 Question ...

Roy,

Thanks for the info, but I'm going to stick with IconRestore for a little while longer.

However, I have saved that link for future reference...
