After Update to High Sierra Problem with Desk Icons and Window sizes
I have the following problem after the update to High Sierra ...
After a restart, all the icons on the desktop are moved. As if you would sort them under the Finder menu item "Display / Cleanup by / Name". In addition, the Finder does not keep the window positions and sizes of folders as they were when last closed. I suppose that both somehow hang together. Maybe someone here in this fantastic forum can give me a hint on how to fix the problem. Thank you in advance !

Re: After Update to High Sierra Problem with Desk Icons and Window sizes
I have always set this exactly as you recommend ... the Finder seems to ignore this after a reboot. As a workaround I use a little app called "Desktop Icon Manager" which saves the icon positions on the desktop and can restore them, but after every restart all icons are again messed up

It was an app called "Blue Harvest" which is intended to automatically delete ds.store files on external drives, f.e. usb-sticks, which are created by the mac os. Those files store the size and position of windows in the Finder. For some unknown reason this app deleted the ds.store files on the system drive, so after every restart any window opened on the default position and in the default size. Same with the desktop Icons.

Why the "extra" .ds_store files bothered you in the first place beats me ut good you got it sorted

These files are a bit annoying especially on a USB stick, for example if I want to listen to music in the car, my car radio had problems with it
