In previous versions of Windows I have been able to align my icons on the right side of my desktop. I prefer this location so that the Start list does not open over the icons. I now have WinXP and the "Line Up Icons" selection is no longer a "right click" choice. All of the available selections force the icons to return to the left side of the desktop. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Right click on the desktop and choose "Arrange Icons By". Select "Align to
Grid" but NOT "Auto Arrange" then when you move your icons to the right they
should stay put.
Hope this helps.
