If there is no space on the desktop for icons, the icons will run off the screen. Thus the icons will not be displayed. If you use up the space, you could delete icons you don't use, resize the icons, increase the screen resolution, or create a folder on the desktop to move your less commonly used icons to.
you might have the desktop settings so that your icons are gridded or fixed and they go back to their original positions instead of where you move them. to fix this, right-click on your screen and un-check "auto-arrange" and/or "align with grid".
A desktop on the Windows Vista could be anything but typical, one can change the background, move or add icons, as well as change the view from classic to standard.
If you're using icon view clean up puts all the icons in orderly positions (Lined up horizontally and vertically). I think the order depends on other settings. If you want to see just go to icon view, move the icons to random places, and choose clean up. If you are at the Desktop, it arranges the icons on the Desktop. If you are in a Finder window and right click, it moves around the items in that window.
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.
To change the size of the icons on a Mac's Desktop you simply Right Click on the Desktop and select Show View Options from the menu that appears. You can then move the slider to change the icon size.

You can move an icon by holding your finger on an icon for about 2 seconds or until all of the icons start shaking. Then you can move or remove icons. To make the icons stop shaking, press the home button.
It's a desktop :)
Keeping your computer's desktop clean and organized can be a challenge. It gets cluttered with documents and program shortcuts quickly. Some programs just don't measure up and fall quickly into disuse but, their shortcut remains on the desktop. Here are five ways to help keep your desktop manageable.Quick Launch Toolbar Use the Quick Launch toolbar next to the Start menu button to free up some space on the desktop. Browsers, media player, instant messaging and email clients are applications that typically get used quite a bit and putting them in the Quick Launch toolbar allows you to delete their desktop shortcuts and always have easy access to them.Display Settings Make the desktop icons larger or smaller using the display settings interface. It is also possible to reorganize the order the icons appear in and how they are arranged on the desktop.Remove Desktop Icons Regularly It is a good idea to schedule time to review desktop items and move some to the trash. Items you no longer need or can't remember why they are there are great candidates. Some items, like documents, may need to be moved to another location where they can be available if they are needed at a future date.Add Folders Using folders is an easy way to keep yourself organized. Create a folder for groups of items that frequently get put on your desktop and keep them all there. Game shortcuts or saved web pages add up fast and keeping them in a separate folder makes it easier to find what you are after. It is also easier to evaluate what should be removed when the same kind of items are all together.Desktop Software There are a number of programs available that can help keep desktops organized. Two of the more popular products are RocketDock and ObjectDock. These programs allow you to keep your most important desktop shortcuts in a convenient and easily accessible location. Icons for the items you want regular access to can be placed in a dock that sits on any edge of the screen you choose. If you are unhappy with the default icons for the shortcuts, you can swap them for icons more your style. There are plenty of icon packages available to download for free. If there is a document that you have to review or update frequently, you can pin that to dock as well.
You hold down an icon until that happens and then you can move the icons around and even delete them to get more space.
