How do you get icons to stop moving around in Windows 7?
When I restart my computer, the icons on my desktop move around to random spots. If I relocate them to where they’re supposed to go, it does the same thing the next time I restart.

I had this issue of desktop icons rearranging themselves in Windows 7 whenever I would restart or reboot and what fixed my problem was the following:
1. Right click on the desktop.
2. Choose “Personalize”.
3. On the left hand side of this control pannel, click “Change desktop icons.”
4. There was a box that was checked next to “Allow themes to change deskop icons.” When I unchecked this box and restarted my computer, all my desktop icons remained where I had them. I both shut down my computer completely and restarted my computer and after both times, all my desktop icons remained where they were.
@flutherother Thanks! What an annoying glitch! I appreciate the help!
