You may be aware that whenever the system boots the first things to get started are the SERVICES....these services corresponds to different applications which runs in background...\n\nSo whenever you switch on your system the services starts in background and respective application (which ever is set to start on startup) starts...hence u see the messenger outline...\n\nWhat makes your icons move a little is the restoration of your monitor settings...which the OS does according to the monitor settings and calibrates for a better view...\n\nHope this clarifies your doubt

Right click the desktop background.  On the menu, select "Arrange Icons By" and make sure Auto Arrange and Align to Grid are unchecked.

most likely check the options for the application and uncheck the box "show at startup" or check your startup folder in Start>all programs>startup and check for anyhtign there that you dont want

That annoying pop up is actually either spyware or adware - the only way to get rid of it is to download a spyware sweeper and then to do a scan to remove it.\n\nFor a quick fix you can try this: WIN XP\n\nClick start > run > type "msconfig" > click on furthest right startup > disable all > click ok or apply > restart your computer\n\nThis msconfig is totaly reversable and will stop the icons loading up when you start windows - it will not delete it\n\nhope this helps

That happens sometimes on mine. You should be able to right-click the icon in the taskbar and Maximize or Resize it. It's probably more of an XP than a Dell problem.

It sounds like sticky keys is on.  Go to the control panel, under accessability and uncheck the sticky keys option.\n-Duo

I will still be on the desktop but it will simply do beyond the right side of your screen and you will not be able to select it. You then can change the resolution to a higher setting to get those icons to show up.\n\nWith that many icons on your desktop, you can experience slowdowns as certain operations will cause the computer to reload all the icons on the desktop.

haveyou changed the screen size (pixels) recently because the thumbnails are a set size and shouldnt be changed\n\njust check that you are looking at thumbnails and not small icons

If you want to change your icon size without changing screen resolution, right click on you desktop, click properties, hit the tab for appearances, then go to effects. There is a check box to use large icons. As to why your computer does this, I have no idea, other than spyware is messing with your computer and not letting remember its settings. Do a spyware scan. I highly recommedn Microsoft's free anti-spyware program.

You got a sticky ALT or CTRL key...

You did not state in which programe you wanted to remove the icons. But in most instances it is a case of going into TOOLS or VIEW (as in Explorer) and click on toolbar and then customise.\nHope this helps
