Desktop Icons won't stay where I put them

Using NewMacOS suite the desktop icons always go back to the top left side rather than where I put them. Any ideas.

right clock on the desktop, under arrange icons turn off autoarrange. That should work

Thanks for the tip. Autoarrange is not checked. They move where I put them, but 5 minutes later, i'm guessing on a screen refresh, they go back to the top left corner. Any other suggestions.

Whenever WindowFX 2.11 loads or unloads it moves my desktop icons back to the top left and down the left side. The order is always the same. My Documents
My Computer
Recycle Bin
Inertnet Explorer.
AutoArrange is not checked, neither is any sort function. Only Allign to Grid. Is there a way to keep the icons locked to the place I position them?

No need to start a second thread on the same subject....... if no one has an answer to the first thread, it's not likely anyone will suddenly have an answer in a second, redundant thread......

No need to start a redundant thread........... if no one has an answer, starting a new thread isn't going to help.
