Do you have the grid turned on? If it is off and you place the icon manually to a specific location, I think the next time you login, the system will place the icon to a default location which depends on the size of the icon and the size of the font to display the name of the icon. I don't think there is something you can do about it. So, what I have done is turn on the grid so I see exactly where the icons will be. Then, changing the size and/or the font size, I've got my hard disk icon to a place that I like with a size that is acceptable... -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/iChat: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] fandango on core n.: [Unix/C hackers, from the Iberian dance] In C, a wild pointer that runs out of bounds, causing a core dump, or corrupts the malloc(3) arena in such a way as to cause mysterious failures later on, is sometimes said to have `done a fandango on core'. On low-end personal machines without an MMU (or Windows boxes, which have an MMU but use it incompetently), this can corrupt the OS itself, causing massive lossage. Other frenetic dances such as the cha-cha or the watusi, may be substituted.
