I know of 2 things that can do that. Changing resolutions can rearrange icons or right clicking your desk top than changing a setting under Arrange Icons.

H Peterson, I'm also running Windows 98 with IE 6.0 and got the same daylight savings message you mention later. No problem with my desktop icons. That doesn't help you find what did it to you, but it does not seem to be a universal problem. Dan

I'm wondering if you had incorrectly shut down you computer prior to starting it and noticing the rearrangement of the icons?? Just fishing for possibilities..

Icon utility here, sounds like it may be just what you need. pcmag.com Just found this, I do not use it. Here is some more: WinTidy has saved the Day - Light Savings switch over dilemma. For all of this systems two years of life , (W98SE, AMD K6-2 300 3D NOW) every time it passed from Eastern Standard Time to Eastern Daylight Savings Time or the reverse, Windows would re-arrange all my desktop icons to its pleasing, in left hand columns. I have had to spend a few minutes placing them back where I want them; on the left, across the top and a few on the right. I know this is very trivial but it has been quite exasperating because it shouldn't happen; and no one every had any solution. I downloaded WinTidy just in time the other day and set my desktop icon pattern to the default layout. This morning, as we are now back to EST, on bootup my desktop icons have remained where I want them - for the first time. KC
