This is quite a common question - and the answer is NO!
Windows (all versions but especially XP) has a habit of re-positioning
icons (i.e. forgetting your custom arrangement) at undetermined intervals.
The only way we have agreed upon to make any semi-permanent arrangement is
to re-name each desktop shortcut so that it either starts with a number or
number-letter combination so that when you select...
"right-click" Arrange Icons By Name
...on your desktop, the icons will be arranged in the order you want them
to be in.
Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but it's my best suggestion.
(Although, a google search may turn up some sort of third-party app)

Maybe this is trivia, but maybe I'm not alone in caring.
In going to LCD monitor, and changing resolution, I find that XP
rearranges my 25-odd icons and I have to put them all back.
Is there a way of saving a desktop as my Default and resetting things to
that Default when they go awry?
