Move the desktop icon

My desktop icons are moving when im from my computer. It's not like they go from left to right, they are simply by changing the tasks between them. It's not that big of a problem, but its very irritating. I have the checked all the Office of options so its nothing like that. I have a Windows 7 computer.

Hello

Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft forums.

I understand from the description of the issue, your computer desktop icons move after restarting the computer. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I suggest that you select the option "Align icons on the grid" as parameter to solve the display problem. You can refer to the suggestion of Fixer Upper from the following link and check if it helps.

  • Move the desktop icons after the release of the games

    First of all, I would like to say that I read this question and answer: http://goo.gl/MkSVA but I think I have a scenario different some - which may require a different response.

    When I'm in a game and I want to leave a moment, I press Ctrl + ESC to get to my office. on most games, this doesn't cause any problems. On some games, when I'm on the desktop my icons have been moved. Running the game I play on the correct resolution.
    My resolution is 1366 x 768, and I have a second monitor which is 1024 x 768. I think that the second screen resolution may be the cause of the problem.
    I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
    When I unplug my second monitor, I can see the icons on my desktop get smaller so I know that the monitor is something the resolution of my laptop screen.
    Please help me solve this problem!

  • 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.

  • Virtual keyboard rearranges the desktop icons

    Hello, everyone,

    I have ACER Iconia W510 tablet and I am in love with her. It is the most useful computer I've had since the dawn of computers with machine mainframe IBM 360.

    A few days ago I met a problem: whenever the virtual keyboard appears, he climbs all the icons on the desktop and makes a mess. It wasn't like that before - the keyboard did not affect the desktop icons. No doubt some update caused this change.

    How can I return the tablet to its previous state or the DΘsactiver the virtual keyboard to move the desktop icons?

    Hello, I just found the solution. The virtual keyboard has a button to the right for full screen or window. Full screen duration upped everything in his path.

  • 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

    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.

  • 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).

     

    Hello

    I suggest you to go through the steps mentioned in the link and the Coachman.

    On a system running Microsoft Windows 7, the desktop icons can be moved to positions at random during another monitor main screen.

  • SYSTEM authorization to remove the desktop icons?

    I just created a second user account on my laptop Win7 Home Premium. When I opened the new account first, there are the desktop icons for programs I don't want on the desktop (I do not want those who use the new account to easily access these programs). When I tried to move them to the trash, I got a notice that I need "authorization SYSTEM" to continue. Then, I changed the account to an administrator account to see if that would work. There can be no. I got the same message. How to remove these icons on the desktop?

    Thank you.

    Hi John,.

    Please log in as administrator before you can remove the icon.

    Log in as administrator. Once you are on the desktop screen, press Windows + R to open run.

    Today, Type C:\Users\ access then the username folder that you want to change.

    Open the Desktop folder and delete the icon you want.

    Kind regards

    Before I bought my new computer with windows 8, I used to have the desktop icon in my taskbar (very useful for when I have a lot of windows open at the same time and need to access the icons on my desktop).  I would click on the desktop icon in the taskbar and hey presto all other open windows minimize all without the need to reduce to a minimum to each of them individually. Ideal for quick hide all open files!  However, I can't figure out how to get the desktop icon in my taskbar in windows 8.  Can anyone help?

  • Pavilion p7: the desktop icons disappeared

    When I started my pc this morning I founf that all my desktop icons disappeared

    Hmm, that's strange. I wonder if you might have accidentally switched to Tablet mode, where the desktop icons would not display. See switch between Mode desktop and Tablet (Windows 10).

    If this does not work, try to install the Windows updates and reboot your computer. I would also like to run a virus scan. Good luck!
