Desktop icon for mounted NAS volume changes location and it annoys me
Deleting the .DS_Store file on the desktop could help. Keep in mind that all icon positions are getting lost:

Open the Terminal.app in /Applications/Utilities
enter &quot;rm ~/Desktop/.DS_Store&quot; without quotes and hit enter
Relaunch the Finder

Press and hold the opt key
Right-Click or Control-Click on Finder in the Dock (while still holding down the Option key)
Select Relaunch



Also make sure there is some empty space around your wished position (2-3 icons wide).
