As per header. Started the system up (98SE) and all the icons are in

This has happened to me at various times. First solution; keep a
hardcopy of a screen snapshot, so you can rearrange as you wish.
Second solution, which I've switched to lately: forget about having
a custom arrangement, and arrange the icons (right click on the
desktop, open "arrange icons") "by name"; it's much easier to do,
and if you can remember the icon names (or rename them to arrange
more as you wish) it soon gets easy to find things.

Seems like you have alot of icons on your desktop.. I put the litle used
icons in their own folder on the desktop. Handy if you need them but out of
the way most of the time. Bob
