Save files on the desktop

I have a couple of files saved on the desktop itself, and every time that I re - save the file, it moves the file to the 'next spot' on the left side of the screen, no matter where I placed icon. How to stop?

Hello salex1988;

We are not sure what you mean by 'save' the Word and Excel files on the desktop.
If these files are projects on the desktop, they are already "saved to the desktop of" and it is not necessary to save them again.
If you are still working with these files by adding data to them, change the filenames and then by recording your progress; then these Word and Excel icons can return to the default location on the desktop (top left corner).  Is this the case?
I have always used "My Documents" for Word and Excel ongoing projects.  Use the Office for this purpose may cause changes in the location of the icons.  However, I have never experiemented with this, so I'm not sure.  I think it's how the work files saved to the desktop are supposed to react, and it maybe there's not a way to stop it without creating a subfolder of the "My projects" for them on the desktop instead of working, working with them directly from the desktop or "My Documents".

Does that help?

  • Windows SteadyState and MSE for locked user? Locked user _save files on the desktop? Add the locked user language

    I use Microsoft Windows XP SP3 and Microsoft Security Essentials.

    I did 2 locked users:

    1 locked with custom Restrictions user running Internet Explorer and other Internet browsers, write and draw and nothing much and is welcomed by right clicking on the program icon only run under other Creditentials.

    2 power User, made from MMC with Chater way to have more power that any user who can not only surf the Internet, but also play games online, and this user is also locked.

    My question is: how to make 1. User has locked protected with Microsoft Security Essentials, cause seems MSE is not protect this account, and I can't be sure because of the locked account cannot see even if it is protected, I put MSE on startup but that does not put MSE icon on the taskbar. If it is not protected is not a good cause for the idea that the user navigates Net.

    Another thing I want to do:

    For both locked users able to save files to the desktop and I have it unchecked in Windows SteadyState, but when I connect them and when I log into files are not saved on their desktop computers. So what is the point of selection/deslecting in sign of Restriction if the files went once they logout?

    I wanted to do administrator can retrieve files from their office soon logs in.

    Is - it possible and keep them locked?

    One last thing - since English isn't the only language to be used on 1 locked user account

    How can I put language so that the user can switch between EN and another language

    Thank you for your replies,

    Hi Jade000,

    I recommend you ask your question in the forums of SteadyState for assistance.

    Hope the helps of information.

    IN WINDOWS 7, cannot save the files to the desktop, the error msg says I don't have permission to do this and to cantact admin but I m user having admin status. ALL SUGGESTED SOLUTUTION? THE FILE in question is created with ms word 2007. I can record on other places lik e in drive D: etc.

    I could open your Explorer of files and go to C:\Users\Vanbee (or any folder of your user name), then right click on the folder on the desktop it there and go to properties.  On the Security tab, make sure that you have a full control on the folder.

  • FF13 Reader Plugin puts ashx file on the desktop

    10.1.3.23 acrobat Plugin from Firefox 13: I want a site of regions Bank Clk the PDF icon and I have the open declaration as it has done recently. Today, it Dnloads year .ashx files on the desktop and I have Clk to see the statement of verification. Is not ideal, so HOW do I get the Plugin simply open the link in a Dbl - Clk as before? Support ashx at Merrill Lynch too vs simply opening PDF.

    IE9 opens PDF file as you wish with a Dbl - Clk on the icon.

    Ran repair / re-boot = no joy. No other Apps before but uninstalled/installed FoxitReader PDF and Reg entries deleted, etc.

    Posted BugBase question for ActionScript of Flash 11.3.300.262 with FF 13 pop-up so it's disappointing to have a 2nd issue of Adobe.

    Thank you very much!

    EDIT: I began to check into Fx 13 Tools/Options/Applications and re-everything choice of Adobe;

    SOMETHING CHANGED the choice of the SAVE vs Adobe Reader in Firefox - THAT solved the problem and I didn't notice the change.

  • I can't open some of the files on the desktop!

    Hello!

    I can't open some files on my desktop computer. I can open the trash, I can open shortcuts, I can open the desktop.ini files, I can open DOCX files, I can open EXE files and I can open the VBS files. By opening the files, I mean a double click on the file icons. But I can't open the image (JPG or PNG) files.
    If I try a double click on any image file on my desktop nothing happens! If I click with the right button on the file icon and choose Preview is the same, nothing happens! But I can open files stored in the folder my pictures in C:\Users\User, either by double-clicking on file icons or by right-clicking them and choosing an excerptof images. Also, if I copy or move files that I have on the desktop to the images folder and then all of a sudden I can open them! I can double-click on the file icon or right-click and choose Preview. But if I return these files on the desktopand then I can't open them! What gives?
    I guess it has something to do with the security of files and folders settings. But I don't know what is wrong or what to do. Note that all these files, essentially all of the files stored in C:\Users have been restored from a backup file Acronis disk full (Full_backup_of_Vista_ (ST1PT1) .tib). I know that during the process of recovery of backup in Acronis True Image Home 2011 I left the default setting for the option 'recover files with their original security settings'.
    Leaving the possibility to 'recover files with their original security settings' on a led the old user account SID are listed in the list of security of files and/or folders (that is, S-1-5-21-3623811015-3361044348-30300820-1013). That is why, I decided to remove all of the restored files and bring them back again, but this time I unchecked the option 'recover files with their original security settings'. In this way, the files inherit security settings of the they are stored in folders.
    So I'm now always having problems with file security, even after the removal of the above option and restore files once more.
    There is no number unknown SID listed for these files now. All I see is the group Administrators , the SYSTEM group and Samir who is my user account. The same thing is shown for the Desktop folder. So why this would be a problem now? At the same time, the images folder has the account number S-1-5-21-2544407746-3790578479-2786702567-1000 unknown and yet I have no problem opening the files in this folder? So what's happening? What should I do?

    Problem solved!

    I used a software called ReProfiler that allows the user to manipulate user profiles in Winwows directly, without having to create a new user account. Because let's face it: having to create a new user account for the sole purpose of getting a new user profile belongs at the time of Windows 98! This procedure of old school does not belong to a Mac modern as Vista or 7!
    There is actually a way to delete a user profile in Windows Vista, without deleting a user account. It can be found by going to...
    1. start
    2 Control Panel
    3. system and Maintenance
    4 system
    5 Advanced System. This will display the system properties.
    6. in this dialog box, you click on settings, where it says "profiles". A new dialog box appears and allows you to delete selected users profiles. But there is no option to create a new. Why not Microsoft?...
    It's frustrating to not be able to continue to do things in the system and have to rely on third-party applications like ReProfiler.
    So I used ReProfiler reassign my user account on my user profile. I have done that and restarted the computer. But he seems to have no effect on the issue I had with the files on the desktop. But after deleting some files from the office, it started to work normally. I remember deleting a particular program shortcut that gave me the error message if I went to properties, Security tab. This shortcut was left over after you uninstall the program itself. After the removal of that thing, I was able to open any file on the desktop, even the photo files. So, I'm not sure if it was turned or a combination of things that this point sort, but I'm glad it still works.
    Lessons: Never restore ntuser.dat, ntuser.dat.log, ntuser.ini files when you restore files to a folder from a backup file users. This will probably mess things up. In addition, does not restore the security settings for the files and records of these files and folders to restore. Instead, they inherit the security settings appropriate to their parents. I think it's how I presented this problem in the first place.
  • Excel file on the desktop disappeared

    Toshiba laptop about 2 weeks running Vista Business. New on Vista also.

    On the desktop, I have an Excel spreadsheet that I use as a time sheet that I update regularly. the last used about 2-3 days ago.

    Turn on the laptop today and he disappeared. I know that I'm deleting it.

    Vista is a desktop cleanup and delete this? If so is it put it somewhere?

    Tried to do a system restore, but I can see only an empty place, if I go back enough.

    Then the files are safe to leave on the desktop and if so why he would table disappeared?

    I don't know why your file disappeared. No, this to happen usually like magic in itself. System Restore does not restore data in files. Restore your Excel from your backup file and put it in your Documents folder instead of the desktop computer. Create a shortcut on the desktop. It's one of the reasons why having the files on the desktop is a bad idea. They can be deleted by mistake or sauteed in a backup too easily. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • I can't open the .jpg files from the desktop using "Windows Photo Gallery" as the default program. They open normally from nowhere elsewhere, but not directly from the desktop. No error, nothing happens.

    If I right click 'open with' open with other programs like IE but not "Windows Photo Gallery". It is not a specific .jpg file, this is all .jpg files. For example... I have a .jpg file in a folder on my desktop, open folder double click, it will open in the "Windows Photo Gallery". Copy and paste the SAME file on the desktop, double-click on, nothing happens. I tried to restart, change the default value of IE, open the file, it opens, by default change to "Windows Photo Gallery" doesn't work... I am confused?
