Desktop icons keep rearranging


Hello,

My desktop icons keep rearranging and windows explorer won't save the position I put them in.

I can rearrange them but when I click 'Refresh' or if I restart explorer or if I reboot they rearrange to another setup. This happens in both normal mode and safe mode.

I have tried all the solutions available on the internet with no luck, including the obvious ones (trying all the auto-arrange and grid options) and even some more complex ones (sfc, registry tweaks).

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you

This worked for me:
*right click on a blank space on the desktop
*the pop-up box shows "AMD Catalyst Control Center" first
*left click on that.
*sit back and wait a couple of minutes until the hour glass stops popping up.
*problem solved. (at least for me.)
Good Luck
