Frozen desktop icons

[alanb]

Downloaded latest driver from NVIDIA for my Geforce 5200 card. With it came Desktop manager and placed itself in my control panel, rearranged my desktop shortcuts and placed a typical windows option strip on LH Side.
Now when I move shortcuts where I want them they jump back to same place. I've uninstalled all the NVIDIA files I can find but no change. Can anyone tell me how to get contol of my desktop, please?

Uncheck Auto Arrange (Right-click any empty spot on the Desktop -> Arrange Icons By -> Auto Arrange). Feel free to double-check other options.

If you need to silence NVIDIA Desktop Manager, try Options/Preferences of the application. If not, unload it from startup (MSCONFIG or REGEDIT).

Thanks for suggestion sp100 but I had already unticked auto arrange. I have searched for files with NVIDIA or nView in title and deleted what I found. I still have an icon on my Control Panel called nView desktop manager and it contains six files , NVIEW.DLL, NVSHELL.DLL, DMCPL.EXE, NWIZ.EXE, NVTUICPL.CPL and IEXPLORE.EXE. I have unticked the enable
box. I ran msconfig and in Startup I found 2 files, NVCpl and NVMCTRAY and unticked them, but no change, the desktop icons jump back to where they have been placed. I ran regedit but I am not good enough to change anything without advice. I did see a path to what may be NVIDIA files, HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version. I just want to get rid of the extra stuff that I downloaded when I updated the GeForce driver.
Can you suggest anything else?
