Impossible to get desktop icons to stick to the main screen.

My main screen to the right of my secondary monitor. How can I stop my desktop icons to switch to the secondary display (left) after the reboot?

Hello

Windows stacks icons in columns on the left side of the office. But you're not stuck with that arrangement. You can move an icon by dragging it to a new location on the desktop.

To unlock the icons so that you can move them again:

a. right click on an area empty office.

b. click viewand then click auto arrange , clear the check box next to it.

  • My desktop icons are moving to the left of the screen and reset of average size.

    Recently I connected to my laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro to find my desktop icons lined up on the left of the screen on the average size.

    I've always had my icons implemented as/where I want them and on small.

    After right click on the desktop, I found that the medium-sized icons is checked and the Auto Align box is also checked / I unchecked those boxes and replaced my icons where I wish it and restarted my laptop... to find the icons back to the left and back to middle size!

    I just spent about 12 hours to try to resolve this problem.
    I use XP and I started having problems as soon as I booted up.
    I tried several options.  Right-click on an empty area of the desktop, System Restore, using my free anti-virus, Avast, but nothing worked, whenever I rebooted the icons moved to the left of the screen.
    My final solution was to use a piece of free software called "Malwarebytes".
    I ran the scan quick option nd about 18 minutes, he began to identify items of malicious programs.
    In total, there were 4 pieces.  When "Malwarebytes" asked what I wanted to do, I chose 'delete '.
    I had to "reboot" before the changes have taken effect, and I am pleased to report that it does not work with gusto.
    I used 'AVAST' when I first add the problem and he found several problems on my hard drive but when I asked to remove them I received a message that the last four items could not be found.
    It seems these are ones I finally removed with "Malwarebytes".
    I loaded the latest version of AVAST because I find it does not slow down my PC and if I have other problems to suck, I'll use what I can find.
    I hope that this help those with similar problems with the icons on the desktop etc.

  • None of the icons are on the main screen of my office, how to make their comeback

    Try to return to the English Canada and see if the desktop icons reappear.  If they do, when the default language has changed he assumed you have created a new 'profile' perhaps and you see profile this profile's empty office.  Alternatively, if a new profile has been created, open the old profile (person) when you open a session.

  • Reminders do not display or stick to the lock screen in iOS10

    IOS10 (10.0.1 and 10.0.2), on an iPhone (I use an iPhone 6), reminders are no longer reliable. I had several cases where the callback doesn't show even on the screen lock and many more times when the recall won't 'glue' to screen lock for more than a short period. Before iOS10, when you said to remind you at a certain time or place, the recall would display on the reliable lock screen until she has been marked as "completed".

    It is a major issue for people who depend on the application for the important tasks and calendar. There is a thread of any discussion on this point, for some reason, has been marked as "solved" even if a large number of people continues to post telling him that there is a problem for them too (as the thread located here). I wanted to start this new discussion which we hope will remain open until it is effectively resolved.

    Thank you!!! This is a HUGE problem!

    Since the update I had to reboot my phone EVERY day.

    Is the stick of reminders... or they do not. Lately they don't yet show upward. Then other things stick to the lock screen can't get rid of.

    Currently this feature on the phone is USELESS

  • Vista sticks to the Welcome screen

    Hi, I read some of the posts that people put here and I can not find an answer for my problem, my friend has a computer laptop sony vaio and when she takes care of vista, it sticks to the Welcome screen, I got him to try to connect by using safe mood, but it just goes to a black screen and hangs , I don't particularly want to do a system restore because it has all its courses on the hard drive and that she wants to keep, is there someone who can help at all that it becomes a little depressing, especially since I have to talk to him about what to do on the phone? All responses will be welcome :-)

    Different is the system restore and system to factory settings recovery there.

    System Restore does not usually affect the data, such that it updates only one hour earlier...

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    See you soon.

  • How to activate the icon of speaker on the CONNECTED screen selection?

    How to activate the icon of speaker on the CONNECTED screen selection?

    Hi leross,.

    I don't know what app you ask on the sound settings for your Apple Watch.  But, in general, you choose your Apple Watch as a source for your music.  Once you pair your Apple Watch with a bluetooth headset, you will be able to adjust the volume.

    Listen to music on your Apple Watch

    Play music from your Apple Watch

    You can also enjoy the music on your Apple Watch without your iPhone when you pair with a Bluetooth headset. Open the music application, scroll up, then on your Apple Watch to choose it as a source. Then scroll down and tap one of these options:

    • Playback in progress. Play / pause what is currently playing on your Apple Watch.
    • My music. After a sync a playlist to your Apple Watch, you can browse your music by Albums, artists and songs.
    • Playlists. Follow the steps below to sync a playlist to your Apple Watch.

    Take care

  • Added additional icons on the main screen

    Hey.

    I was wondering how to add additional icons to the main screen which calls in my application and limitations with this stuff. Limitation on the number of icons of an application, what kind of parameters can be passed in.

    Best regards.

    Each of the entry points serve a different function? If Yes, then there is no way to program hide the icon; It will be either hidden (module system) or visible.

    You can use the ApplicationManager to launch your application and use some value/info you must distinguish what entry point to run.

  • How do you disconnect hotmail in windows 8 (when you dream in on email on the main screen icon)?

    How do you disconnect hotmail in windows 8 (when you dream in on email on the main screen icon)?

    I found a solution but it takes several steps, and the average user will never know how do it.

    (1) when your Hotmail account is opened in Windows 8 press the keyboard windows key and the letter 'I' at the same time.

    2.) on the side right under, click "Accounts" "settings".

    3.), click your Hotmail account that will accomplish.

    4.) downstairs there is a box "Remove all accounts" click it. Don't worry, this does not remove your Hotmail account or any account, it's just signs than you. You have to click on the box twice that a notification saying your data will be always preserved in the clouds.

    5.) go back and check the mail application, now you will be asked to you "try again" and it takes back you to the login section.

    Phew, both pis Microsoft na not happen to a better solution. As I said, I see a lot of prosecutions and a lot of divorces because of this.

  • How to get out a window, when you use the main screen?

    When I'm in the MBR to 8 window and I opened a program like IE, how to close to return to the main screen. Some other icons are the same thing. I'm looking for a way to close it and return.

    I know that I can go to the lower left window, but did close these windows? Hope this makes since. I think that if I click on music it does the same thing. I can't end this one. I can find a break and other things.

    Maybe I'm not dragging my slider on the right side?

    Thanks, Bruce

    Bring your cursor to the top of the standby screen until you see the hand and then click and drag it to the bottom of the screen... Who's going to close an application and take back you to the start screen.

    Press windows + C which will open the charms of the right side

    Press windows + key X that will open a menu of useful type administration programs

    I hope that helps

  • Show Desktop icon is missing from the Quick Launch bar

    Original title: Windows Search

    I have Windows XP, home edition, SP3, IE8, and I lost one of my desktop icons that I use frequently. This is the icon that is always in the taskbar, as well as a few others. The icon is what opens on the desktop whenever you click on it. It is a white square that looks like a block of office paper, with a figure of what looks like a pencil or pen appearing thereon.  Somehow, somehow, it was deleted, and I can't find where to get it back. I have been in the control panel on 'VIEW' and no luck, only we in the menu of the taskbar and start and he can find, checked a large number of menus that contain the word "Desktop" in it and I clicked on a large number of them also without a bit of luck too. Once more, he is a white icon and is still in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen of the monitor. Someone knows must return this icon... any help would be appreciated.
