Desktop icons all screwed up after quiting an application

Curley_Boy

Is there any way to stop my desktop icons from getting all messed up and out of place whenever i quit a game/app (e. g Q3/JK2/SOF2)? I think it probably happens because i run my games at a lower resolution & refresh rate than my desktop, im not sure.
