Icons Re-Arranged?

[Tie Lightning]

Hey guys, so today at about 6:00, i turned off my computer because i was leaving the house for a few hours. I just got home at 10:00 and turned my computer on just to find that all my icons were re-arranged to the top left corner of my screen. Is there a reason why this would happen? Thanks guys:)

Resolution re-adjusted? that happens.

maybe your cable, whether it be vga, dvi, hdmi, or displayport, came loose, messing up your resolution. its happened to me a few times.

yep, normally happens when resolution changes. Happens to me all the time. specifically when i swap monitors in display fusion

It always happens to me after using LogMeIn to remote control it. It's a pain for sure, I agree. I have work applications on the far right of my right monitor, and the usual icons on the far left of the left (primary monitor)... I wonder if theres an app or tweak to lock them in position... Hmmm...
 
edit: here's some solutions from other annoyed windows users (I haven't tried them yet, FYI)

 

1. control panel

2. display
3. screen resolution
4. find the advanced settings link lower right
5. click the "on screen display" tab
6. uncheck the "Enable Auto Scroll" box

Done... thanks for nothing microsoft... Greg

p.s. why in the **** is this defaulted to on?

But this sounds the most promising

1. Right click a blank part of the desktop and then click Properties.
2. Click the tab called "Desktop" and then click the "Customize Desktop" button.
3. Click the tab called "Web" and then check the checkmark from "Lock desktop items".
