Re:viewing option on the destop files

Question

Hi,
I have issue with viewing option on the destop files! After setting up the way I want them (Snap to Grid) though they stay where they are while I am working but, once I restart, log out or shut down the computer, I find them repalced or moved around on the desktop when log in back again. I thought installing Lion will clear the proplem, but did not. Is there someone who can help with this issue? Thanks

You must also take care of the fools that "convert" any other file (*.txt, *.xls, *.pdf, etc.)  to tdms by simply changing the extension in explorer.
(There are a few people here that "convert" *.bmp to *.jpg this way because attachments of bitmaps are not allowed. Just because the browser is smart enough to still display it despite the incorrect extension does not make it a jpeg image. Others write to an ASCII formatted txt file but give it an *.xls extension. While this does not make it an excel file, it forces the file to be opened by excel, which does its best to make sense of it. Works most of the time ).
Clearly, you need to check for proper extension after selection, but you should also handle the errors properly if the file is name *.tdms, but actually is something else.
