How can I stabilize the location of my desktop icons in windows 8
I work from the office, virtually 100% of the time and I put on 10 desktop icons with applications that I use constantly. I kind of want to stay in the same place, but it is still moving around the screen. I have "auto arrange" disabled. I use a lot is the program, so I'll have office up on most of my screen and side window has messenger.
Every day that I start, my icons have moved around the screen, those that I placed horizontally on the lower right part of the screen end generally vertically aligned with the top left corner.
I look for other matching, but have not found work from the search results.
Any help would be appreciated, I would just be able to lock them in one place.
If you use the component feature snap to snap a desktop application rather than on the side of the screen, the desktop itself will get resized to a new physical pixel size, and the icons will be move accordingly (so they are not hidden off the screen and will not you). The effect is as if the resolution of the monitor has been changed (users who use projectors / TV, or other monitors frequently see this problem of "move icon", so you're not alone).
Unfortunately there is not much that can be done directly to solve this problem, at least not by default. There are programs such as the great "closed Desktop" that the company StarDock product that help corral and group desktop icons.
Another option could be to pin your icons in your taskbar instead.

How can I remove the homegroup to my desktop icon?
How can I remove the homegroup icon that suddenly appeared on my desktop Windows 8
I know and respect the fact that Sharief K is a Microsoft Support Engineer. but he doesn't know what he's talking about as a Microsoft Support engineer or he didn't understand the question.
However, here's how to solve the problem in the right way...
Question about this community newsletter is:
(Windows 8) How can I remove the 'host group icon"from the desktop?
Answer:
1 right-click somewhere on the desktop that is free of icon/s with the left button of the mouse.
Select "Customize" in the context menu, which will take you to the selection of window customize.2. Select "Change desktop icons" in the area of the hand at the top left of this window. A "Change desktop icons" dialog (context menu) is displayed.
3. Note the box on the left of the 'network' is checked. Uncheck the box and then left click of the mouse will apply.
4. at this point, the 'host group icon"will be removed from the desktop. Now again check the box to the left of the 'Network' and then the mouse left click apply.
And your all set. That is of course until what you restart your computer, in which case this problem will happen again. Gives one does not want to restart its system ever if you have Windows 8.
On a more personal note, I am A +, Network +, MCP and a Bachelor's degree in electronic engineering technology and experienced Microsoft since 1992 when I always still served in the U.S. Army. Sorry, but I am appalled and disgusted with the OS of Windows 8 not to mention Microsoft Office.

Can I customize the location of my desktop icons?
The default seems to be that all the icons are aligned to the left. can I change this to top-aligned or right-aligned?
Right click on desktop
Uncheck the display-> Auto Arrange icons.
You can then place icons anywhere you want on the desktop,
However, if you want to align the icons automatically to other places like up/right. I don't think you can do, unless you use some third-party applications.

There is no printing functionality in Windows Vista Mail group.
However, if you highlight all the individuals that you want to print, then click Print in the toolbar, it will print out them pretty much the same way that you would expect from a group.

How can I update the location in Photos?
I'm trying to update the location of my pictures. I can change it under "Info" in the menu of the window (set the PIN on the map) and that works fine, but when I go to the Image menu and then click on setting Date and time, and then change the time zone on the coast is where I live in California where I took the photo, choose San Diego in the dropdown selection menu it It's default back to Los Angeles after that I click on Adjust. How can I get the city to stay on my choice?
Tthat selection has nothing to do with the location, it's for setting time tags on the photos, zon hour option moves both the appropriate amount.
