I have a new Phillips monitor with my computer and, like most new things, here are a few changes to get use to. When I switch on, the icons which I normally have arranged some on the right and some on the left of the screen have all moved to the left side and I have to start by sorting them out again. What do I do please to stop this happening?

IF you click on them and drag them to where you'd like them do they not stay there?

That's weird! (I assume that it's to do with a change of resolution).

You've not said which version of Windows you're using but, with most of them, the solution can probably be found by right-clicking on the desktop and checking, or unchecking, particular properties. (e.g. if 'Auto arrange' is selected, deselect it). So some experimentation might be in order.
If Windows 7, right click desktop, 'View' remove the tick from 'Auto arrange icons'

Thanks for your answers. Sorry I omitted to say Windows 7. I've experimented by right clicking the desktop. There was no tick to remove from 'Auto arrange icons'. For some reason I don't know the icons do now stay where I put them, after switching of and back on again. I wish I knew the answer to pass it on - but it's a mystery!

After you have right clicked in blank space on desktop and opened 'View' make sure that a tick is put alongside 'Align to Grid'. Reboot, and all should be well.

Hans.
