Desktop items keep rearranging itself, How do get them to stay where I put them??

[ezdoesit]

It happens after I exit a game and get back to my desktop.
I have them in the order I want them vertically aligned from the left but after I exit the game theyre bunched in a box in the top left corner.
I dont want to keep fixing it after every game.
Does anyone know how to fix this??
Locking desktop items doesnt work.

Thanks.

Right click on emtpy desktop, and select "Auto Arrange" untill there is no mark beside it.

That's because your game uses a different resolution than your native resolution.
I don't think there is any way to keep it unless you use your native resolution in the game.

Go get Icon Restore, it'll save your icon positions and restore them with a context menu command. Google "icon restore tim taylor"

Theres no mark beside it right now.

My game doesnt support my native resolution, but the weird thing is it doesnt happen all the time.
Most of the time but not always.
