So, i have 2 monitors (probably the problem), when i reboot my pc, my desktop icons get messed up. I've tried to find some fixes, nothing really helped me out. Some of them go to my 2nd monitor and some just mess up on my main screen. hjelp ;< (btw, It was fine for like 4 months, this problem appeared recently..)
 
Solution
I have never tried this utility:

ReIcon (Restore Desktop Icon Layouts) - sordum.org

with a multi-screen configuration, but it works beautifully with a single screen layout.

One of my laptops went through a period where, inexplicably, all the icons would be auto arranged in multiple columns on the left side of the screen with out any human intervention, and it would generally happen when the system was restarted.

I was never able to find a root cause, but using ReIcon allowed me to put my prior arrangement back in seconds.
