• Why the desktop icons all move to the left of the screen on any update?

  I place all the icons of the convenient positions, not on the grid. But whenever I do any upgrade of Microsoft or others, all icons move to the left side of the screen, sometimes on the grid and sometimes not, sometimes restart and sometimes not. I'm really tired of having to move all icons when this happens. I even tried locking icons on the desktop, but that does not work either.

  .

  Make sure that the reorganization is not selected when you right-click on the desktop. That said, you can still see this problem if you do not have to line up on the grid.

  This tool will make your icons back where they were if there is no other resolution.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

  If I understand correctly, you are not able to drag icons on the desktop. I'll certainly try and help you in the matter of fixing.

  To help you to propose measures to solve the problem, I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

  1. Since when are you facing the issue?

  2. you have any security program installed on the computer?

  3. what happens when you try to remove the icons?

  4. do you get an error message?

  5. are you aware of any changes made to the computer before the show?

  Run a full scan using the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check for infections.

  Note: there is a risk of data loss if all the files are infected and which can be removed in the cleaning process.

  If the problem persists, start the computer in safe mode and perform a clean boot. Clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  Note: when you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 3, mentioned in the article to start the computer to a normal startup.

  Hope this helps and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help.

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

  We have windows vista with 2 user profiles that are the main ones used.

  How can I add/remove/move the desktop icons on my profile without moving/remove on the profile of other people?

  What is the point of having 2 different profiles, so everything I do on my effects profile profile of others?

  also is it possible to add/remove programs (games, downloads) without doing the same for the other profile of people?

  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.

• Windows 7 desktop icons move after reboot

  Hello world!

  This is the first time in my life (and I am 41) ask your question like this, windows product but I am already desperate with this annoying icon problem, and I consider myself an advanced PC user.

  I like to organize my desktop icons (and I have a lot) in my own way everywhere in the desktop for my comfort and until a few days ago they still reappeard on the same place where I put them after the restart or shutdown.

  A few days ago, I bought a new TV (LG LCD 80 cm) with a HDMI input and connect with my Nvidia GeForce 9400GT via a graphics card HDMI 10 m long hi-speed and turn on my PC. During the time of startup, I chose Windows 7 (either by the way, I have 3 OS-es on a HARD drive on separate partitions 3: WinXPpro Win7pro 64 bit, Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit) and when the loggin screen should appeard there was only white screen on my primary monitor, ACER A221HQ (22 "), connected by VGA cable. I couldn't even logg in Windows until it hits me, I better turn on the TV as well and BINGO, my loggin screen was on TV and not on my screen. Then I try to set my screen as main screen to be invited to have the obsolete Nvidia graphics card driver and I need to download the latest version. Is not not lazy i made cela, open the Nvidia Control Panel and set both views to clone fashion but the TV is to be marked as 1 (primary) and 2 (secondary) monitor and there is no option to manually set monitor as display a (primary).

  After that whenever I boot windows 7, that the desktop icons move to the left side of the screen little matter what I do in the menu desktop options.

  I guess this happens because windows now think my TV is the main display, not the monitor and send it so the Office on television to see that is turned off and then sends it to the screen, but with desktop icons rearranged for a stupid reason because I put resolutions on both screens to their native 1920 x 1080 resolution / 32 bit color / 60 Hz.

  Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? I tried to install this 3rd party software to save the position of the desktop icon, but it didn't work, I uninstall.

  Also this problem appears only on Windows 7, Windows XP have no problem at all, nor Ubuntu 11.04.

  Thanx.

  (Sorry for the grammatical errors, but English is not my native language)

  I'm sure you're right about the why behind it all, and I don't have an immediate solution.  However, I recommend a program of a company that has done a lot to work with and licensed a lot of Microsoft software.  It's an arrangement program called desktop icon by StarDock fences.  It might suit your needs.

• The desktop icons move after reboot

  original title: the desktop icons

  I have Windows 7 and when I manually move some icons on the left side of the screen to the right of the screen... they stay there.  I entered the office properties and click on the appropriate buttons.  Everything's fine until I restart the computer.  The strange thing is that only a couple of icons that were positioned on the right side are now on the left side.  I and then pull them to the right and everything is OK until the next reboot and we start over again.  What I am doing wrong?

  Thank you

  Tom

  Hi tom sk,.

  Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum.

  Check if "Auto Arrange icons" is enabled.

  If so, uncheck it and move icons, restart the computer and check.

  Your Antivirus software could be parasitic. Try temporarily disable you security software and check.

  If the problem persists, install a third-party program in windows that govern funds layout and positions for your that you can restore it later.

• PSE12 - I lost my desktop icon when I tried to move to the gutter. Now I can't find how to start the program.

  The useful suggestion only so far is to uninstall PSE12 and reload it. However, I bought this package as a downloadable copy and I don't have an original disc. Because I have now recorded copy, will be - this PSE refuse to allow a second attempt to sign? See you soon

  Hi Ned

  A.... With the help of your response and assistance from Adobe, my query has been resolved. Help Adobe's response is that, with the PSE, reset the validation is done automatically when the program is uninstalled. I just deleted the previously created desktop icons. Please see excerpt of conversation Chat Adobe below.

  1. Adobe: uninstall and turn off are the same in PSE
  2. Dave_t_9: Wow! I didn't know that! So if I have problems loading, I can try to load several times on the same machine, providing I have uninstall between each attempt?
  3. Adobe: That is absolutely correct.

  B.

  1. I'm sorry that my download was backwards. Also to add the attachment, I tried to use the print to the screen but it was rejected saying that the format was not supported.

• When I restart my PC Windows XP desktop icons auto arrange on the left side of the screen.

  On the screen of "rearrange icons by", "Auto arrange" is unchecked. !!!

  I use the app "icon Restorer" to move my icons to how I arranged the on the desktop, but every time that I reboot the desktop icons auto arrange themselves on the left side of the screen.

  What can I do to keep my static desktop icons (and not self organization after reboot)?

  Hello Henry

  The list in two steps below are users in another thread about the same exact issue. Try the steps suggested, let me know they help. Thank you.

  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...
