Were there any event logs? You didn't say.... &nbsp;Also exactly how to the desktop icons rearrange - do they vanish for example?

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a user who has this problem maybe once or twice per month. &nbsp;His SOP is to log off during the week, and to shut down over the weekend. &nbsp;What happens is that occasionally (1-2 times per month), his desktop icons rearrange themselves. &nbsp;This seems to be independant of when his log off/shutdown schedule. &nbsp;No group policy is in place that references the desktop at all. &nbsp;He is running win2k pro SP4.<br />
<br />
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. &nbsp;This user is very AR about things like this, and is becoming most unpleasant about it.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Hello,

I have a user who has this problem maybe once or twice per month.  His SOP is to log off during the week, and to shut down over the weekend.  What happens is that occasionally (1-2 times per month), his desktop icons rearrange themselves.  This seems to be independant of when his log off/shutdown schedule.  No group policy is in place that references the desktop at all.  He is running win2k pro SP4.

Windows 2000 occasionally rearranges desktop icons on reboot

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
