Pavilion dv2: how we prevent auto arrange icons at startup

Whenever I have bootup, my icons are arranged on the left side of the screen.  I have for my taste, but the next time they are back on the left.  Auto Arrange (rt - clk Office > view) is not checked, but it seems not to matter.

No problem. I had this back on win xp and found a small program that does the trick. Backup/restore the Desktop is a mouse menu option that allows you to place icons anywhere where you want, and then save the configuration. A simple restore if it ever became evil aligned, it gets back. Jamie O'Connell is the owner. Download w8.1 here:

    Well, I have therefore 2 monitors.  I love what auto fix, it helps me always keep very organized.  Well, my office is getting super crowded.  I log in and the icons on my second monitor are off the screen of my primary monitor.

    Now, here's my setup.

    In the case that gets jammed, follow second on the left, main in the middle of my table and the computer on the right Tower.  I love the installer, I absolutely never will change because it is very useful for me!

    My main monitor is in the Middle, cuz make games and other things.  My second monitor is off on the side to make the navigation while playing games, programming, and code, to learn the new language of programming (tutorial on the left, on the right IDE) etc.

    So.  I want to use automatic reorganization, but all my icons go off the screen.

    Is it possible that without changing my main monitor that I can get everything to align to the left of my second monitor and through the screen on my only primary.

    That's what I'm aiming for.

    Icons lined up on the left.  Any way to do this, or any program that can do this?  Already found something that allows me to have a double task bar, but I still have to find something like that

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    To keep the icons on the extended screen, you must either make the main screen or you must disable arrange. Arrange the feature will organize the icons on the screen main itself.

    -Are you using the monitors in extend mode or double?

    You can consult the following Microsoft articles for more information about the monitor options.

  • How permanently kill (no) auto arrange icons in the windows Explorer 7

    I can't drag and drop icons in the windows Explorer window 7, I can't disable snap to grid, I can not disable the grouping, I can't disable sorting, please any help, hack recording, scripts, tweaks, codes, orders, alternative programs.

    My thought is: If icons can be freely arranged at the office, so the ability to turn the auto organize into folders exist in the system, I'm looking for a way to re - activate.

    Dxcorp,

    Suggestions are welcome; feel free to leave your comments on Windows 7 comments if you want to restore this functionality.

  • How to prevent auto login? I never NEVER save passwords, yet FF connect to gmail without connection request.

    I never save passwords - never have, never will be. Misusing IE Gmail work properly in he ask me for ID and password for each new instance of the browser. Yet, when I opened gmail with FF, it goes directly to my Inbox without asking for password or id I use gmail in mode "always safe." Cookies are enabled, of course, all did not expect my password to be saved and loaded a cookie. How can I fix this problem?

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    Hello Shrek.

    First of all, Let's clarify things: when you save a password in Firefox, it is stored in your computerand is not shared or downloaded anywhere. He has also encrypted so only Firefox can be read (i.e. the automatically use full passwords) and away from the prying eyes of malware, viruses and whatnot. Save your password for Firefox is completely safe and this password will be available for someone who users your Firefox profile. If you want to have different Firefox profiles for different users, please read this article.

    However, when you ask a site to 'connect you automatically', it has absolutely nothing to do with the Firefox password manager. When you request a site always connect you to sites stores a cookie in your browser (in this case, Firefox and not other browsers may have installed or Firefox on other computers – unless you have them synchronized with Firefox Sync) that site will use whenever you visit to see if your logged in or not. This cookie is exactly the same kind of technology that a website uses to determine if you are connected at all. Without cookies (that is, if you have disabled cookies), you must be connected permanently, because the site won't be able to remember you already connect to. This makes more, if not all, sites that require you to you connect completely useless.

    If you don't want to be always connected to a given site, simply do not always connect. You may need to sign out and sign in again to tell him that, but it's a question of ease of use of the site, not with Firefox.

  • How to prevent auto-start for Lightroom?

    LR - 5 starts whenever I plug a camera when I want to download pictures on my PC.

    Sometimes, I just want to get pictures off my Point & Shoot camera but LR starts and starts to import the photos so I try desperately to close. It is wasted effort.

    How can I stop this from happening?

    Sometimes 'snapshots' are not necessary that the photo was designed to eBay or Craigslist to editing in LR.

    If you go in the general section of the preferences you can disable this option by unchecking "See the import dialog when a memory card is selected."

  • How we prevent auto-ajout of the page on the overflow of text?

    I have a document with some groups on the master page. Each group has a box and a picture box.

    When I have the master group to display on the document page, then enter text so that it goes beyond area of replacement, a new page is added automatically.

    I have never seen this before, I always thought that InDesign shows just a badge of overflow [+] instead of automatically create pages.

    How can I stop adding pages and just leave the text in overflow?

    Check your text preferences smart reflow in the type pane. Turn the power off.

  • Disable/turn off the auto arrange files and folders?

    does anyone know how to disable auto arrange? I love being organsised and organize my files in the folders for my taste. I could do it with vista and other windows before Windows 7. can anyone help? is microsoft aware of this problem and they do anything?

    1 right-click anywhere on your desktop and choose View > Auto Arrange icons

    2 make sure that it is there no check mark next to Auto Arrange icons

    This works only on the desktop, but not in the display of records, Freak05. The menu option that you're referring to can be reported in the views folder, but only with a registry hack that I noticed earlier. It is more accurately described in the articleHow to disable the automatic reorganization in folders in Windows 7?

    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...

    I used my HP recovery disks to restore my laptop to condition factory & now want to install the updates of Windows (Vista), install programs, etc.  Vista updates are installed by Service Pack 2. I have installed/activated Microsoft Home & Student 2007. Then (via Control Panel / Windows updates) I clicked «get updates for more products» Forcing an update of the Windows Update software.

    Then, there were 163 updates... 17 load without problems... then there have been 158 updates (163-17 = 158?). I tried to install those & told me I need to log on as an administrator.

    How to open a session as an administrator?

    I am the only user on this computer. I never connected as administrator (before or after the use of HP recovery discs). Whenever "authorization" is required, I always just clicked OK or whatever... no opening of the special session, or password was necessary.

  • Automatic icons of the Organization Office, auto arrange is DISABLED.

    Hello.

    Today my icons are accommodating on the left side of my screen like automatic reorganization is enabled. which is NOT the case. I tried turning power switch with toggeling snap to grid as well as in various combinations, all with no effect on the issue.

    I tried some of the fix registry mentioned in other posts here, also without success, the question of fixing. I even tried to do a selective startup upward, all disable anything microsoft services too, which did not fix the issue.

    OnTop of that it apears when I restart my computer not only is done also auto arrange my icons (even if its still not controlled), but he changes the size of the icon in the Middle, even if it was set to classic (small) when I restarted the computer.

    When I tried to do a restore of the system just seems to say "the initialization of the restore point" and is, do nothing. I leave on this screen for about an hour before, I stopped the restoration.

    I also ran a virus scan (avg) that no matter what pick and a registry Fixer (ccleaner). registery Fixer has established a large number of errors but has not fixed the problem I have.

    This quite frustrating cause I duo monitors and I prefer some of my quick links on my second monitor, so I can open programs with duty reduce my current window.

    Anyone have any ideas?
