Items on the Windows 7 Desktop continue to go to the LEFT even if THE REORGANIZATION is OFF?

The icons/folders/files on the desktop computer are sent to the LEFT SIDE of my MAIN SCREEN even if automatic reorganization is disabled.  Windows 7 to remember the position of the icons when I leave them there for a long time before restart (as if Windows running analysis of your desktop) but will forget if I move icons and restart shortly after.  Worse, it is even when he remembers the position of the icons, if I open a file and then save it, it will automatically move this icon to left - VERY BORING.  After looking online, it seems, that it is a bug that has been neglected and ignored by MICROSOFT.  WTF?  ALL THE 'DECENT' SOLUTIONS OUT THERE?

  • Stuck on blue HP Invent screen and not loading Windows not items on the desktop after you done a system recovery

    Hello, this is my first time posting here, because I'm in desperate mode!  I have a HP Pavilion Slimline s5304y using Windows 7, desktop pc that I bought in February 2010.

    After getting a virus on my computer, I ordered system of HP recovery disks, and made to factory settings recovery process (twice!), however, during the Windows install process, it never cross the blue HP Invent screen that says:

    -Do not turn off your PC during this unique installation process

    -Your PC will restart several times during the installation process

    -Messages may appear on your screen. Ignore these messages until you are prompted to restart or shut down your PC

    To the bottom of the screen, it keeps saying "Please wait...". "with a green scroll bar. What I see is the buttom to start at the bottom left corner but I am not able to access anything whatsoever and I never get my desktop screen or the desktop icons. I restarted and closed several times, and as soon as I log on windows, I just get the same blue screen.

    The 2nd time I did the recovery process, I let him continue overnight (just in case I was not waiting long enough) and my computer never stop as it was supposed to when the installation is complete.  In addition, the whole process, I looked the first time around and my computer never restarted as he said he was supposed to; It seems to just be stuck for the rest of the installation procedure for windows.  There finally comes to switch to "standby" mode.

    I have nothing plugged on the other except the power cord, monitor, and keyboard/mouse.  I have not installed new hardware since I bought the computer.

    I did a test of diagnosis and everything going on.

    I tried to get help from HP Support, but because I am out of the warranty period, they cannot help me and want to charge me $99!

    I don't know what else to do at this point. Can someone please?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Assuming that maybe that's a problem with the recovery discs, it is a simple work-around if you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your PC comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it comes to the exact retail version that you would need.

    If you do not access to the retail drives, you can create an installation disk yourself - just download good picture disc from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD.  These Images are clean and a well respected source, however there are only limited versions available.

    http://www.mydigitallife.info/Download-Windows-7-ISO-official-32-bit-and-64-bit-direct-download-link...

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the sticker COST on your PC on demand, and when the installation is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally delivered with OEM installations.

  • Windows Explorer ' does not ' when we R-click the item in the files pane

    Now here's a strange: for a few months my Windows Explorer has been "stoppage of work" and "restart" (except that it isn't) in two circumstances. (1) right click on an item in the pane of the files (except a right-click 'Computer', that works to display a context menu.) (2) selection of a file in the files pane, and access to the menu 'File' in the menu bar, either by clicking on it or by using the ALT, then F keyboard shortcut sequence.

    I was about to have Windows reinstalled by my dealer to fix this problem, but since it would involve further tedious re-installing all my applications etc. I thought that I would try to fix it myself.

    I found that the problem disappears once I delete an icon on desktop - any icon will do. So I've set up a collection of "sacrificial icons" on the desktop for this purpose. Should be deleted after each new startup.

    Anyone got an explanation?

    Thank you. This is a useful tip for general use which can be useful in the future, but you will enjoy the simple trick to delete a desktop icon makes my Windows Explorer works for almost no time and effort, and because I don't have the time to spend creating a user profile (with no guarantee that it will actually fix it) since I am very busy and you want to just my computer to work for me I will continue with my little trick.

    I posted this mainly because it's so weird, I thought that folk would like to meditate on this.

    Hello Henry

    Mysoul           

    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?

    or

    securityguy14            

    When you say "LOCK icon on my desktop items" I assume you mean to stop to rearrange a reboot? If that's what you mean, so just copy paste then whats below into Notepad, then click on "file > save under...". "in the part superior, save it to the desktop. When you save the 'Save as type' change to 'Documents text (*.txt)' to 'All Files' and name it anything with a .reg extension. Close everything and then click on the file and select "merge". also, you want to make sure to add the part "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00".» This registry setting records the position of items on the desktop when you turn off

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
    "NoSaveSettings" = hex (3): 00, 00, 00, 00

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk...

  • Microsoft Mouse and keyboard Center 2.3.188.0 is not Exchange buttons of the mouse correctly with Windows Remote Desktop

    I use Microsoft Mouse and keyboard Center for years with no problems. For example, version 2.2.173.0 worked well. I use Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

    I swapped the buttons on my Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 (so that the right button's "click" and the left button displays a context menu, for example). When I connect to a remote computer, traded buttons continue to operate as programmed.

    Just set Windows Update to update my mouse and keyboard Center to the 2.3.188.0 version. Now when I use the Windows Remote Desktop to connect to another computer that is running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, my button is not honored. In other words, on the local computer, the right button of the mouse is 'click '. On the remote computer, the left mouse button is 'click '. The keys are reversed on the local computer, as I have it configured, but not on the remote computer.

    I called Microsoft and was transferred to various departments. I would like to report this bug, although I have to pay out of pocket, but there seems to be no way to report this bug.

    Is there a way to report this bug to Microsoft? Is there a solution? How can I revert to a previous version of Microsoft Mouse and keyboard Center?

    I suggest to perform a restore of the system to a restore point before the update.

    You can also uninstall the keyboard and the mouse Center programs and features.

    Then, go to this site and download the previous version.

    (I couldn't find any previous version on Microsoft sites, but I checked the file hash values, I downloaded Microsoft previously).
