When connecting to my remote Windows 7 desktop with RDP, once I disconnect and later go back to this computer, all the desktop icons are rearranged from the way they had been, necessitating me to place them back in a certain order. Does anyone know a way to prevent this from happening?

Sounds like could be different screen resolution settings in the Remote Desktop sessions– developer__cJul 23, 2015 at 12:42

Correct. This is a side effect of explorer + DWM having to resize to meet the new resolution.– cdavidJul 23, 2015 at 17:31
