I have a utility called "WinTidy" installed on all my lab computers.  I
used to have exactly the same problem.  I downloaded this program from the
Ziff Davis website.  I've been using it now for 2 years and haven't had any
conflicts with any of my other programs AND my icons always stay put!!

Here's the link to the site
