    Start menu icons rearrange themselves


    Hello,

    I hope someone has any idea what is happening any possibly why.

    My start menu icons every now and then rearrange themselves. They go from small to medium size, and groups resolve.
    Then I do the tedious work of arranging everything and then without a single reasons some days or weeks later, same thing again.

    Any idea what might be causing this and...

    Is there a way to save the arrangement, so I can pull it back kinda like a backup, in more or less few clicks?

    Thanks!!

    PS. VERY annoying feature...

    :)
