Do you have a fix for his problem?
It may just be a problem with Word.


I did ensure auto arrange is not checked, yes. Also, this is only a
problem with Word documents, and only when I edit/save them.

I have a couple of Word docs on my desktop (which is exactly where I
want to keep them, so let me derail any suggestions of storing them
elsewhere...*g*). I have them along the right side, where I want them,
but every time I have them open to edit, and save the document, the icon
moves itself over to the first empty spot on the left side of the
desktop. I just want them to stay where I put them. Does anyone know
how I can keep these in place? (Note: auto arrange is not on)

Thank you.

This probably won't help, but when you are editing a Word file, Word
creates a 'working copy' named ~$cument.doc (for something named
document.doc) with an icon on the desktop at the first available
position. For some reason your Word/OS do not seem to properly kill the
temporary icon, but kills the original. I was not able to replicate your
problem with Vista Home Premium (32-bit) and Word 2007.

Interesting....thanks for trying, Aaron. (BTW, I'm running Vista
Business, although I don't see that being likely to make a
difference...)
