How can I lock the position of the icons on the desktop?

How can I lock the position of the desktop icons in Windows 7 Home Premium?  In Vista, they would stay as I had arranged them but now everytime I restart my computer they all line up on the left side of my desk.

Try this:

Right-click on an empty spot on your desktop > view > uncheck, Auto Arrange icons icons and snap to grid

  • How can I lock the desktop icons?

And, no, I'm not changing my resolution I know moves them.

    Hi there, have you tried? Click with the right button on a blank space on your desktop, highlight the icons on the desktop, check on "locking up icons" and organize the uncheck'auto?

  • How can I lock the position of thumbnail images in their files?

    Start > My Documents > folder my pictures (100 thumbnail images with names)

    The menu View Menu drop-down has 6 options for viewing: film, thumbnails, tiles, icons, list or details. No matter how I arrange these images by dragging them to my desired job they always get reorganized after the close then reopen the case. None of these 6 options they held in the order that I dragged. I wish it works like the desktop icons, they stay where I put them.
    I have 2 of most of my images. An original and that changed with each having a different name. I want to keep these side-by-side in the folder, but different names bring them to be separated when the file is closed and reopened.

  • How can I prevent the desktop icons move arround whenever a different profile is open?

    Hi JexterMaxim,

    1. what type of user accounts that you use?
    2. don't you log on as an administrator?
    3. don't you make changes to the agreement of the issue occur?

    When you install a program, you will need to select the installation option in particular only to user accounts. Not in user accounts. You can try the following steps.

    Desktop shortcuts are stored in one of two places:
    (a) in c:\Users\Public\Desktop. These shortcuts are shared and are visible to the user ever.
    (b) in c:\Users\UserName\Desktop. These shortcuts are not shared and are visible to the user.

    When you right click on a shortcut, and then click general, then you can see where this particular shortcut is stored.

    To make a shortcut of the group a) visible to yourself, do this method:
    a. drag the shortcut to the side with the right button of the mouse.
    b. Select "copy". You have now two seemingly identical shortcuts.
    c. delete the original shortcut.

    • Base
    • Unit conversion
    • The date conversion

  • How can I pin the desktop icon in the taskbar

    Before I bought my new computer with windows 8, I used to have the desktop icon in my taskbar (very useful for when I have a lot of windows open at the same time and need to access the icons on my desktop).  I would click on the desktop icon in the taskbar and hey presto all other open windows minimize all without the need to reduce to a minimum to each of them individually. Ideal for quick hide all open files!  However, I can't figure out how to get the desktop icon in my taskbar in windows 8.  Can anyone help?
