Default Desktop icons are moving on me in "switch users"

Works GREAT with Vista 64 too.

I have the exact same issue as Howie:

I too have two users on my new "notebook" with Vista Business
Both have (groups of) Icons placed in different areas of the desktop.
But after my daughter has logged into her user space via "switch user"
almost ALL (bar 3 or 4 out of 28) icons IN MY USER SPACE get moved,
out of any logical order, and pushed to the left side again!
I have to sort them all out all over again which is such a gross time
water,
however, if they stay this way for a while, it is a time saver, coz I
know exactly
where EVERYTHING is when its in my well sorted way on the desktop.

This doesn't happen at all after "shutdown", just switching users
causes it.

PLEEEEEEZ help somebody - this is immensely frustrating & time
wasting!!
Surely there must be a little box somewhere in Vista that says "save
desktop setup" or something similar?!?

I Hope Howie has found a solution, as I totally understand your issue
Howie.
Good luck to us
