Hi all,

Just a quick question, when I connect to my time capsule I see a small set of 4 squares in the bottom left hand side of the finder window (as shown in picture). Hovering over this icon says 'keep arranged'. I was wondering if this function can be performed on my home directory as at the moment it is a total mess, and would be much better if it was all organised.

Thanks for any help

Yes, when in Icon view, go to View Options (Command-J), turn on the "Keep arranged by" and set an option for how you want them arranged. Also be sure to check at the top whether you want it to apply to just that window or all windows.
