With your help, I've figured it out.
The problem was with the 'Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop' folder. Icons
in this folder don't get sorted with icons from 'C:\Documents and Settings\[My
profile name]\Desktop' folder.
I've now moved all desktop icons from 'All Users' into my 'C:\Documents and settings\[My
profile name]\desktop' folder, and all is working nicely, all icons sorting properly.
Thanks for your help,
Mark
