SYMPTOMS
After you configure Control Panel to use the Small Icons View option, the icons are not displayed in the correct order and alignment the next time you open Control Panel. Enabling or disabling the Icon Auto Arrange option does not correct the display.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, reset the Control Panel icon setting:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) On the View menu, click Large Icons.
 * 3) On the View menu, click Small Icons.

Note that this method works only while Control Panel is open. After you close and open Control Panel again, you must perform these steps again to display the icons properly.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
