On a Win98 laptop, I unselect Arrange icons and arrange the icons the way a user wants to arrange them. When the user reboots the laptop, that icons are automatically arranged again. How can I prevent this from happening?

Check the vertical icon spacing property. Right-click on the desktop, choose Properties->Appearance and in the Item dropdown select Item Spacing Vertical. If the value is set less than 34 change it to something greater than 34. For some reason updated versions of IE don't like the spacing to be smaller than 34 and by default the value is 32.

See if this helps.
