Hi Mike,

This is something different!  First be very sure you don't have 'Auto Arrange' selected 
and that there are no desktop restrictions set for this system. I thought maybe TweakUI 
could cause this symptom but not.  Try refreshing the icon cache by performing the 
following:

Right click your desktop and select 'Properties' from the menu.  Next click the 'Appearance' 
Tab.

Now select 'ICON' in the 'Item' box and change the 'Size' selection to a different
setting (ie:+ or - one digit).  Now click the 'Apply' button.  Now do the same thing 
again, but set the 'Size' selection to your original setting and click the 'Apply' 
button.  You will notice the icons refresh each time you do this.
