Hi Guys,

My desktop keeps messing up every time I boot up my PC, my icons move all over the place and I don't know what I've done... I've unticked the box that says 'Allow windows to move icons' or whatever it says, and It still happens.

here is a picture of the desktop when I boot up

and here is a picture of what it should be, after I arrange it every time

No, my resolution is 1920x1080p, and always is, never changes.

My PC, as far as I know shuts down properly, It just comes up with a red screen (my theme colour) saying 'Shutting Down' and then goes off, nothing unusual

Is that a custom theme? if so did you 'crack' the Themes function to install a custom one?

if not, I would try clearing the icon cache: http://www.winability.com/how-to-erase-icon-thumbnail-cache-windows-8/
