Disappearing Desktop Icons

This is a discussion about Disappearing Desktop Icons in the Customization Tweaking category; My desktop shortcuts and icons think that they can do whatever they want. I want to tell them that they can't once and for all, but how ? My Taskbar is along the top of the screen (where all sensible people have it) and the icons move whatever my screen resolution.

My Taskbar is along the top of the screen (where all sensible people have it) and the icons move whatever my screen resolution. Whenever they disappear a quick flick of the refresh shortcut from the desktop right-click menu brings them back but puts them top right, where I don't want them.
 
When they're not hiding they've just moved back top-right anyway, even if I left them all along the lower edge of the screen.
 
It's all a bit intermittent though and so I haven't noticed any patterns or possible causes.
 
This occurs with three different graphics cards in W2K (no SP1).
 
Ideas ?
