• How to lock the desktop icons in a multiple monitor configuration

  Original title: lock the desktop icons - and display

  Working with Windows 7 Home Premium has a problem processing 2 pieces: no matter how many times I said I want the display screen appears on the monitor, the screen of the computer, every day he arbitrarily returns to the computer screen only. That creates the 2nd problem: the desktop icons that I have arranged for the largest monitor rearrange themselves to adapt to the computer screen. Is there a way I can lock the icons in this position that I used to be able to do? Or is it possible that I can keep the display to go back to the computer screen? (I'm careful to apply the instructions to display before the specified seconds elapse).

  But I wonder why the files on the desktop (which is private by default) is represented with the padlock symbol, however.

  1. can you post a screenshot?

  2 are you able to access these files normally?

  3. where are these files that are exactly, on the Public Office or in the user's desktop folder?
