Save Desktop Icons !free!
For a permanent solution, lightweight utilities can capture your icon positions as a backup file and restore them with a single click. Windows 11 Desktop icons rearrange and re-sort themselves
Before the fix, a quick “why”. Windows stores your desktop icon layout in the Registry (specifically under BagMRU keys). It normally saves the layout per screen resolution. But when the resolution changes unexpectedly (e.g., connecting an external monitor, waking from sleep), Windows gets confused and defaults to a “safe” layout – often a messy left-to-right, top-to-bottom blob. save desktop icons
Regarding the patch in the DeployWiz_SelectTS.vbs script, for MDT build 8443 you will have to add an extra line; in “Function ValidateTSList”, after the line that says “Dim oTS” add the following:
Dim sCmd
Dim oItem
Set oShell = createObject(“Wscript.shell”)
The two lines at the bottom are as in MDT 2013 Update 2.
Kudos on this workaround goes to Ward Vissers in “MDT Build 8443 Automatically move computers to the right OU” (http://www.wardvissers.nl/2016/12/29/mdt-build-8443-automatically-move-computers-to-the-right-ou/).
Thanks a lot for your article!

Thanks for this Javier!
Has anyone tried this same fix in MDT Build 8456? I’m working on updating my MDT to the latest install and I’m having issues getting the TS Selection to work like it did previously with this fix in place.
