Panther moves my desktop icons around on restart.

Anyone else getting this?



I did a clean install from my retail CDs and it still is doing this.

I can 'fix' it by opening the desktop view editor thing hitting 'arrange by name' and then grid (which unchecks name) and then unchecking grid



but when I restart, it rearranges them all over again.



It's getting really frikkin irritating.



I can place them manually - but then it messes em up again when i restart.

Why can't I LOCK their positions!!??



Grrrrr.

    open the terminal and enter these two commands:



    cd Desktop

    rm .DS_Store



    note the '.' in the name .DS_Store.



    Log out.

    Log in.



    Now, set your icons and such and tell us if it remembers them.



    Moving to Genius Bar.
