Knowing that everyone else has this problem, makes me feel better about my own problems.

The only way I know to get around it is to use the identical screen resolution and aspect ratio as you do any of the monitors that you will connect with. They all must be set to the least common denominator so if you plan to connect with a monitor that is 800x600, then all of the connection settings, including your desktop must be set to 800x600. It is much harder when dealing with aspect ratio, though. If you connect to a standard 4:3 aspect ratio monitor remotely from a wide-screen, netbook, smartphone, etc, it is still going to mess up your icons. I have not tried this, but theoretically if you have mandatory profiles set, then everything should revert back to its original position each time you logon, but then you also could not change anything else on the desktop or related to the profile. Of course another solution is to keep you desktop clean! ;-) Thomas C.

When I return to my work computer my Icons on the Desktop are always scattered all over the place. I thought my remote connection was connecting at a lower resolution and moving the Icons around to fit on the screen but don't know for sure. It's like I have a scavenger hunt every day before my first class. My question is, "How can I keep my Icons in one place?"
