Every time I reboot on one machine I loose the custom desktop icons. I can
get them back by opening desktop properties feigning a theme change,
reselecting my original theme. Why does this happen? I like my special
icons.

Hi,

Use the "repair icon feature" of Tweak UI to rebuild the icon list and
restore them to their default.

Thanks, but that didn't work. Still the only way to get the icons to not be
default but rather my choices is to feign a theme change and then go back to
the current theme. Any other ideas?
