Desktop icons

>Help!!!!!! I am new to Win XP Home and was wondering if
anyone knows how to keep the desktop icons in a specific
order. I use a drafting software and have alot of
projects with short cut icons. Every time I shut down
and boot back up I have to re-arrange the order of my
icons. I've tried all the options for the desktop icons
and still have the same results. There is one option
that is grayed out ( arrange by group) I don't know why
this option is not accessible. Thanks in advance for any
ideas.

Specifically, be sure Auto Arrange is unmarked. If it is, click on it to
remove the checkmark. I've kept my Desktop as wanted doing this.
