After reboots, my Windows 7 desktop icons will randomly change size.

I am referring to the icons with a gray border around them. A search has not yielded me a working resolution. How do I fix this?

So many things can cause this, from desktop settings to a corrupt user profile.

Things to try.

1.) Right click on the desktop and select View, be sure "auto arrange icons" is Not selected.Right click again to view settings and un-select "align to grid"

2.) Some suggest software to sort it out in some cases

3.) Try rebuilding the icon cache

4.) Create a new user account, then copy the old user account settings to the new account
