  1. Desktop Icons rearranging


    I have a user who is using dual monitors and their desktop icons always revert back to the main monitor on restart. I logged in and moved icons around and restarted and everything was where i moved it. So this appears to be user specific. I am assuming their is something that is corrupt in the registry that is causing this. Does anybody know where to look at in the registry? Tanks for the help.

    :)
