I am running Win XP with Vista Upgrade. All of a sudden my desktop icons keep stepping back to the left side down after each reboot

Try this tutorial. It worked for me when I had Vista 32 bit. I used to have more than 150 shortcuts on deskops, and they tended to move 'by themselves' as you said. This tutorial below worked for me.

Note: the tutorial is done for Vista 32 bit.

Is a 64-bit installation program which I have not tried. I can't guarantee that.

    System Restore works if you have a point of return to until the icons have been changed if there is a lot to do
    just for the positioning of the icon. Right click on desktop - view and you probably have the reorganization and align it on the grid
    checked.

  • Windows 7 pro 64. The desktop icons won't stay where I put them. After a reboot, the desktop icons are always rearranged.

    I've set up my office while I have the following icons down the left side of the top in the following order: computer, network, System (C), (D) options, reader of DVD (E), trash.

    Whenever I restart my computer, the icons are rearranged as: computer, network, trash, reader of DVD (E), options (D), System (C).

    I don't want to add all the new icons on the desktop, because I know they won't stay where I put them. When I was using XP it would happen only when I changed resolution but with Win 7, it happens every time that I reboot.

    Reorganization of auto desk is off, snap to grid is turned off, sort by has verified. I use two monitors. All the gadgets that I have in my hand right 2ndary monitor are stay in place very well. The icons gives me the problem are on the left side of the left main screen.

    I made an image of my hard drive just after the installation of windows 7 and before to install the drivers of manufacturers and updates of windows.

    Today, I restored this image, reinstalled the drivers from manufacturers and made the updates of windows. The problem seems to have disappeared now.

    I am re-imaging my hard drive after you install the complete driver/updating. I hope I don't need to use it, but I will if I have to. I still don't know what caused it in the first place, but at least now I have an option of fast food if it happens again. I'll recreate the image on the hard drive after all major software install from that time, I have two images. A fundamental right after pilot installations and one after each installation of software.

    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.

    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...

  • Why my favorites icon disappeared and why my bookmarks menu suddenly on the left side?

    Recently, Firefox updated to 23.0.1 (beta?) and once the browser upward, I noticed that my bookmark icon (the star) had disappeared. I solved the problem easily by assigning up to where it was originally. Now my problem is that when I click the icon, my menu appears on the left side of the screen rather than the right as he did previously, before the update. I went down to 22 and it does not solve the problem. I really want the menu to return to the right side, as the left just frustrates me. I have not found no quick fix in the menu customization, or in safe mode. Can someone help me?

    There are two buttons of almost identical bookmarks, one for the bookmarks bar and one for the Menu bookmarks (which drops down), which has a "circumflex accent" / arrow & text bookmarks when it moves out of the Palette to customize.

    You have the wrong button.

    I also have problems with my icons on the desktop from the left side - which BTW, I liked, at the center of the screen.
