    The way to do it as of today is to use a 3rd party utility and there are several free ones.

    Check these :

    DesktopOK - Free - Save and restore the positions of the Windows Desktop Icons.

    Thanks I may try one of those utilities.

    But Microsoft should fix the bug themselves.

    It is a bug and it has been around for a long time.
