• taskbar fills half the screen lower

  The taskbar, who usually works at the bottom of the screen, now all occupies the lower part of the screen. Rebooting did not help. How can I get it back to normal?

  Right-click on the taskbar and then, If there is a check mark against lock the taskbar, click the check mark to turn it off.

  Then place the cursor on the edge of the taskbar & she will change to a two-headed arrow.  Click on and drag it in the detail, that it will accept.

  Then right-click on the taskbar and put a tick against lock the taskbar.

• Why the desktop icons all move to the left of the screen on any update?

  I place all the icons of the convenient positions, not on the grid. But whenever I do any upgrade of Microsoft or others, all icons move to the left side of the screen, sometimes on the grid and sometimes not, sometimes restart and sometimes not. I'm really tired of having to move all icons when this happens. I even tried locking icons on the desktop, but that does not work either.

  .

  Make sure that the reorganization is not selected when you right-click on the desktop. That said, you can still see this problem if you do not have to line up on the grid.

  This tool will make your icons back where they were if there is no other resolution.

• When I restart my PC Windows XP desktop icons auto arrange on the left side of the screen.

  On the screen of "rearrange icons by", "Auto arrange" is unchecked. !!!

  I use the app "icon Restorer" to move my icons to how I arranged the on the desktop, but every time that I reboot the desktop icons auto arrange themselves on the left side of the screen.

  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.

  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...

• The desktop icons fly over left after resetting my computer.

  Hello

  I just had a question. It is not a big deal, just a pain. When I restart my computer all the icons that I moved to the upper-left corner of my screen (hobby icons and links to video games and applications) are all moved to the left of the screen with the computer/network/trash icons. I have to move every time I reset my machine. I made sure that the reorganization is off. I even turned on and then off it again.

  I am running windows 7 that came with my dell. He started just do it after I made a backup of my computer.

  Is this a common problem? How should I do? As I said, this isn't a huge problem, just a pain to move all icons back just to reset on me when windows updates or I turned off my computer at night.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you

  Hi Louie

  It is a known problem with some systems.

  If you have a 32-bit system, you might want to try the following fix.

  You can save custom desktop icon position and restore it if necessary, using the Layout.dll of Microsoft shell extension.  Save and restore available to the icon on the desktop in Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7

  Kind regards

  Thank you for using Windows 7

• My desktop icons are moving to the left of the screen and reset of average size.

  Recently I connected to my laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro to find my desktop icons lined up on the left of the screen on the average size.

  I've always had my icons implemented as/where I want them and on small.

  After right click on the desktop, I found that the medium-sized icons is checked and the Auto Align box is also checked / I unchecked those boxes and replaced my icons where I wish it and restarted my laptop... to find the icons back to the left and back to middle size!

  I just spent about 12 hours to try to resolve this problem.
  I use XP and I started having problems as soon as I booted up.
  I tried several options.  Right-click on an empty area of the desktop, System Restore, using my free anti-virus, Avast, but nothing worked, whenever I rebooted the icons moved to the left of the screen.
  My final solution was to use a piece of free software called "Malwarebytes".
  I ran the scan quick option nd about 18 minutes, he began to identify items of malicious programs.
  In total, there were 4 pieces.  When "Malwarebytes" asked what I wanted to do, I chose 'delete '.
  I had to "reboot" before the changes have taken effect, and I am pleased to report that it does not work with gusto.
  I used 'AVAST' when I first add the problem and he found several problems on my hard drive but when I asked to remove them I received a message that the last four items could not be found.
  It seems these are ones I finally removed with "Malwarebytes".
  I loaded the latest version of AVAST because I find it does not slow down my PC and if I have other problems to suck, I'll use what I can find.
  I hope that this help those with similar problems with the icons on the desktop etc.

• problems with my moving desktop icons on the left side

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

  I bought a new Toshiba laptop which has windows 8 and I hate it. I'm sure it's windows 8, which is causing problems, not on the computer, but I'm * to have so many problems and it was not yet 14 days since I've owned this thing. Maybe it's true - once you go Mac there is not coming back. I'm done with this Windows *.

• XP... The desktop icons will not put

  XP... The desktop icons will not put. I did a lot of research on this issue, read the different responses on many forums, including and have tried much of the recommendations... I'm not familiar with the functions of establishment of the arrangement of the desktop icon and this is the first time I met this kind of problem. "Lock Web items on desktop" is checked, "Snap to grid" is not checked (my preference, but I find that it will check mysteriously itself after the icons rearrange themselves to the left of the screen, apparently by making use of automatic reorganization, even if it is not checked), I tried securityguy14 registry change response dated December 7, 2009 , have installed and use the program "Icon restore" that changes the Recycle Bin, my computer, and another icon of office, I do not remember to add a backup/restore function for the setting icon on the desktop... is what bought me a brief period of mental health before they rearrange themselves after a few constantly unidentifable strike entered sometimes without "rhyme or reason", not unique to anything, preventing me from shrink down to a specific cause. I conducted several audits of malware with paid and free programs and there is no indication of anything invading my system, it works fine other wise. Help!
