Everytime I startup or restart, my hard drive icon has moved to the bottom of all my icons on the desktop as opposed to its normal top-right position. I'm running 10.2.7 on my new 15" PowerBook.

Anybody know what the cause of this is? Is it something I need to worry about?

I wouldn't worry about it too much, though it might be a nuisance. In the Finder, click command-J, or go to the View menu at the top and select "Show View Options". Perhaps you accidently have it set to "Keep arranged by..."?

On a side note, I personally like to keep my desktop arranged by Kind. It keeps everything organized and snapped without ever having any empty spaces where a file could go, plus it keeps all hard drives and cds and such to the far right.
