>>I have a problem in Windows XP, with the one-click icons, those that by default are at the lower left part of the screen. I rearrange those icons, by dragging them with the mouse. For example, I want the "show desktop" icon to be first, because I use it frequently.

>>However, on next startup, it often occurs that the icons are back in their previous positions. Sometimes even when I just resume from a hibernation - this latter seems especially strange to me. Is there a way to avoid the icons to be reordered, or simply to force a specific icon to be first?

Yes, I have administrator privileges.
Wouldn't the icons be personal for each user?
