LFS and Windows Desktop Icons

Unlike everyone else in this NG, who I'm sure keep a neat-as-a-pin Windows desktop (Yeah, right), I have LOTS of icons on my Windows 98SE desktop. I have them arranged just like a I want'em too. Unfortunately, every time I exit from LFS, it moves all of my icons around, so I have to put them back where I want 'em again. To say the least, this is a PITA! Can anyone shed some light on this phenomenon? Is there some Windows setting that I need to activate or something? Thanks! Bert

Don't use desktop icons. Use the Quicklaunch bar and the start menu for all of your needs.

I'm just guessing here....but.... It's probably the difference in resolution between your desktop and LFS. I understand that LFS is beta, maybe it doesn't restore your desktop resolution properly. My desktop is 1280x960 and if a game crashes at 1024x768, then it does the same thing. Maybe run LFS at your desktop res.... Good luck with it....

If you really want to fix the problem, try disabling all windowed options in LFS...

Yeah, that's exactly what I was going to suggest! It's probably going back to the desktop when doing multiplayer connect in window mode, and not at their regular resolution, so icons are getting rearranged.
