My desktop icons have arranged in a very weird order. I have an image of it @ http://www.geocities.com/msmasitti/Desktop.jpg The icons are in almost random order, and I dont know why. I have tried to arrange the icons, and line them up, but no luck! Help! Thanks for all replys!

You must have tried this already, but; "right-click" on an 'open' area of the desktop and choose "arrange icons". The resulting list has "auto-arrange" at the bottom. This can 'lock' the icons in place which means if you manually move them they 'bounce' back to where they were. All the other selections (name,size,type,date) enable the icons to be moved or placed manually anywhere on the desktop. If this is not what you were looking for - sorry.

Interesting how the columns line up perfectly. Have you tried to use TweakUI - Rebuild Icons option? It almost looks like you have programs (desktop icons) with no visible icon or text.
Summary: I have a Windows 95 system. The desktop icons are washed out and appear like a snowy tv picture with hardly any color. Sometimes the icons don't appear at all and I only get the folder name on the d...
