Stop to rearrange my desktop icons!

Hello.

I would like to know if it is possible to stop Windows from automatically rearrange my icons to fill the holes on my desk. This happens when I make changes to a file (.doc, for example), and it's getting boring.

Hello

Right click on the desktop in an area empty, click view and uncheck Autoarrange by clicking on it.

    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.

  • Printer HP photosmart stopped scanning and desktop icon does not connect either

    I have recently switched to optical fiber for broadband connection.  I reset my printer to the new IP address and the fact that it is connected.  However I'm unable to scan.  I followed the procedures to help so I tried unplugging my firewall (not quite sure how but I disabled my security temporarily) but he has not yet worked.  I also tried double-clicking the desktop icon that is unresponsive.  Help!

    Hi there Sue!

    My next suggestion would be to uninstall the printer, restart the computer and reinstall.

    1. uninstalling the software of the printer (I recommend the method of control panel to uninstall)

    2. restart the computer to complete the uninstall

    3 Click here to download the complete driver. Once the download is complete, installation will start and then follow the on-screen instructions until the printer is completely installed. I hope that eventually you will be able to open the printer from your desktop software and start a new search.

    Hello Henry

    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

    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...

  • My iMac will be either reboot or shutdown of the apple desktop icon

    My iMac will be either reboot or shutdown of the apple on the desktop icon. Items saved on the desktop disappear and the menu from the top of the screen disappears, then it is just in this mode for ever more. I then use the switch to stop, which is clearly not the best way to ensure the longtivity of my system.  I use El Capitan 10.11.3 [latest version] I have tried the following but still the same issue.

    1. I ran disk utility, but no hard drive errors appear.
    2. I stop after having disconnected all my other connections (USB components, components lightning etc.), but still no change.

    Before you contact Apple directly, just wondering if anyone else out there he has a similar problem. I had my hard drive 3 TB replaced a few months back, in line with a reminder official apple and this problem started to reign around one month or later.
