SYMPTOMS
When you use roaming profiles for domain users to log on to multiple workstations, the position of the icons on the desktop may be lost. When this position is lost, the icons are rearranged on the left-hand side of the screen.



CAUSE
This occurs because icon position is not properly stored on the server that stores the profile so that they are displayed in the same position on all workstations.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
