CONTROL THOSE SNAPPY ICONS

By default windows has your desktop icons set on Auto Arrange. That is why they snap to the original position even if you change them around to your liking.

It is very easy to change that default setting

Right click on the desktop and select Arrange Icons. When the new menu appears, you will notice that the Auto Arrange has a check mark next to it. If you click on Auto Arrange it will deselect this option and your desktop icons will no longer snap back into place.

Now you have the freedom to position your desktop icons wherever you please and they will remain there until you wish to shift them again.
