Why folders keep shifting their positions?

Today I downloaded Apple Security Update 2011-005 for Lion (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1447). However, I got some issues here. After the update I noticed that some of the folders on my Desktop was rearranged. Moreover, my Mac started slowing down.

Does anybody else have same problems?

The update replaces 3 files, all pertaining to your system's keychain. They are as follows:

/System/Library/Keychains/EVRoots.plist
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemTrustSettings.plist

It is impossible that the update has caused your problems. Look elsewhere.

  • I'm with cksum - they are correlated in time only, but not caused by each other.

The arrangement of icons on the desktop and in folders is controlled by the (usually hideen) file .DS_Store. If you deleted this file or it became corrupted, your icons may have shifted around. It should not affect the speed of your computer though.
