Workarounds
System 7.5 - Create a new empty folder in the Shutdown Items folder (in the System Folder). When the computer is shut down, the folder will open. At startup the Finder will try to rearrange the contents of the empty folder, not the icons on the desktop.*
System 7.5 or Earlier System Software- Leave a Finder window open before restarting or shutting down. The icons in that window will be rearranged, instead of the ones on the desktop*.
- Use a sense code adapter. Doing this would force the Macintosh computer to recognize the AppleVision 1710AV display as a monitor with only one available resolution. For example, an adapter could be used to make the computer believe that the AppleVision 1710AV display was a 21-inch RGB display.
* Note: If you have any external volumes (hard drive, server, or other) that automatically mounts at startup, you will need to leave an empty open folder on the last mounting volume. If other volumes mount at startup after the empty window opens, the window will move to the background--and will not prevent reorganization.
