As anyone who's put marshmallows in the microwave knows, they expand a ton! Sometimes they puff up to literally more than twice their original size (YouTube video for those who haven't seen it).

So, why?
At first I assumed it was because they had a lot of air in them, but that doesn't make sense. There's no way that amount of air can puff up that much from the heat!

What makes marshmallows poof up so much when they are microwaved?


Question: How do I stop Windows from moving desktop Icons?
Answer: I figured out one way to handle this.  I have an application I use (fences) which allows me to group all my icons.  I already had most of my desktop icons grouped with this application and noticed that they restore properly.  So, I just created a "Miscellaneous" group and threw all my stray icons in there.  I don't like this solution, but it's the best one I can come up with since windows will not properly restore icons or allow me to turn that "feature" off. :P
