This is a default setting for most computers. It's purpose is to arrange your icons in a way that makes them easier to find. They don't always make it easy, however. To make icons go where you want them to go, minimize all applications. Then, right-click on the desktop. You should get a menu. The top item is "Arrange Icons By." Clicking on it brings up a second menu. It looks like this.

Name

Size

Type

Modified

----------

Show in groups (usually grayed out)

Auto arrange

Align to grid

----------

...

If you don't want your icons to sort themselves, uncheck "Auto arrange." If you want them to go anywhere on the screen, get to this menu again and uncheck "Align to grid" if it isn't already.

Most likely the problem is that your display properties are set to Auto Arrange.# Right-click on any blank spot on the Desktop # At Arrange icons by... check to make sure Auto Arrange is not checked. # If it is checked, uncheck it. # Then, OK out and move your icon. # It should stay where you place it on the Desktop.
