Determined to find a solution, John embarked on a journey to troubleshoot the error. He scoured the internet for answers, visiting forums, Reddit, and even YouTube. He stumbled upon a thread on a Call of Duty forum where users were discussing the same issue.

A long-standing rumor suggested a launch flag -nofilesyscheck existed in the CoD4 engine. In WaW, this flag was either removed or non-functional. No official documentation supports it. Most "solutions" claiming otherwise were actually using altered .exe files from cracked versions. : Check for pending updates in Settings >

I wrote this program after severe frustration of having my layout trashed every time I switched screen resolutions. Sometimes other programs will switch screen size and trash your layout as well. This program is an answer to this problem, and I thought other people might find it useful too.
TIP: Even with Desktop restore installed, does Windows seem to scramble your icons now every time you reboot, or press F5 to refresh? If so, after you restore your icons the way you want them, manually move one icon a space or two over and then move it back. After that Windows should remember their placement for a much longer time.
