    I used remote mesh desktop function to connect to my 4 monitor system at work from my laptop at home.  I noticed that all open windows spread on my 4 monitor system showed up on my laptop screen. 

    Back at work, I noticed a curtain driver monitor in display properties.  I had to turn (extend my desktop) on the other 3 monitors as they were disabled.  The curtain driver monitor remain greyed out. 

    My problem is that the desktop icons on my main monitor (monitor 1) have moved to the monitor 3. I cannot re-position these  icons to my main monitor, where they have always resided.

    If anyone has a solution, please let me know.

    I recommend removing the curtain driver from the system settings. That should allow the device settings to be configured again for your 4 monitor display.
    Then consider reinstalling Live Mesh, but my gut tells me that you'll encounter the same issue again if the curtain driver is interfering with the proper functioning of you display driver.

    Steve is correct there.  There are some open issues around the 4+ monitor Remote Desktop and some display drivers not working well with the Mesh remote driver.  We've been working to correct this in the next major release.
