If for example your desktop is 1024x768 and you run a game which uses 800x600 windows will helpfully rearrange all you icons for you so they fix on the 800x600 desktop. Either arrange all your icons towards the top left of your screen - within whatever dimension the game is running at. Or run your games at the same resolution as your desktop.	Guest (0)
