Hello! It sounds like you are facing an issue with the desktop icons on Windows 7 Ultimate RTM getting rearranged after restarting or shutting down the PC. This can be frustrating, but there are a few things you can try to resolve this issue:

Possible Solutions:​

1. Auto-Arrange Icons: Windows has an option to automatically arrange icons on the desktop. Ensure that this feature is turned off to allow manual arrangement.
   • Right-click on the desktop.
   • Go to "View" and make sure that "Auto Arrange Icons" is unchecked.
2. Icon Cache: Clearing the icon cache might help to fix the issue.
   • Press "Windows + R" to open the Run dialog.
   • Type cmd and press Enter.
   • In the Command Prompt window, type the following commands one by one and press Enter after each:

      cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local attrib -h IconCache.db del IconCache.db

3. Registry Edit: You can try editing the registry to prevent icon rearrangement.
   • Press "Windows + R" to open the Run dialog.
   • Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
   • Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\1\Desktop.
   • Right-click on the "Desktop" key and choose "Permissions."
   • Make sure your user account has full control.
   • Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer.
4. Third-Party Tools: You can also use third-party tools like DesktopOK to save and restore desktop icon positions.
