    I too have the same issue.

    Space in my username worked fine for both pop and imap on mt N95.

    Doesn't tell me it's invalid for MfE but gives me an invalid credentials error.



    It would be nice if there was a response to this at some point fiven that it has been here a fortnight.

    Desktop icons keep moving at startup

    I have been experiencing the same issue at times, especially recentlly.

    I have searched for the solution, and no luck. It seems that it is the glitch Microsoft has not yet resolved.

    Here is a Temporal Alternative Solution:

    Since the system rearranges desktop icons automatically in the left side of the screen each
    time the system is refreshed or rebooted or start/Restart, I decided to arrange all desktop icons in the left side in the way I wish. In this way, the system does not rearrange the icons. It is important not to leave any space.

    If you would like to arrange icons with some spaces between them, create empty file folders and use them instead of spaces.

    I still keep Recycle Bin in the middle. It is not much work, since it is the only one I have to move back after Unwanted Automatic Rearrangement.

    I use "Medium icons" and "Align icons to grid."

    Auto align icons or align icons to grid may be your problem.

    Solution:

    It depends on if the icons are set to auto arrange their position on the desktop or set to align to grid. This function is achieved by right clicking and empty space on your desktop that in turn will open a task pane window like this one:

    Hover over the word view, another sub window will automatically appear, check align to grid or auto arrange icons. Auto arrange, I believe will tend to reset your icons in different locations initially and then the icons tend to reset themselves after that, depending on how many icons you have, at no specific time with no input from the user. Align to grid setting keeps the icons where you initially put them and keeps them there until the user moves them.

    Align to grid settings allows you to place your desktop icons where and how you like and will keep them there permanently or when you decide to move them somewhere else. IMO and my experience.

    Changing the default display of text and icons along with the resolution can also change the spacing which wouldn't make it invalid, just different. I don't see any issue with the Desktop in the 2 images except for all the skulls but my question would be which arrangement do you want, the top one or the bottom one?
