• Now the icons on the desktop in place between users

  I often have to change the screen resolution to test a web design to make sure that it works on multiple monitors.  After getting tired of having my random distributed desktop icons whenever I did, I created a new user and connected to this user to change my resolution.

  Imagine my surprise when rear connection my name to user-res usual to find my random icons anyway.

  Is there a solution to this unfortunate?

  Thank you
  Dave Dave

  Dave,

  This is because the setting of the desktop resolution is by computer. One system affects all user accounts.

  To work around the problem, you can use one of these tools available to backup/restore the desktop icons.

• The desktop icons can be locked in place?

  I am running Vista Home Premium.  I created my icons in a location on the desktop that is easy for me to find/see but from time to time they moved on their own.

  I'm running on an ACER Aspire 5610.

  I suggest that you do the following.

  a. right click on the empty area of the desktop
  b. click on 'View' and try to "Snap to grid", instead of "auto arrange".

• Placement of the icon on the desktop in Windows 7

  My desktop Windows 7 has his icons arranged in two columns on the left flower. If I drag an icon of this table, it snaps back. What can I do to allow icons to be away from the left margin?

  Right-click on the desktop, select view and uncheck Auto arrange and align on the grid.

• Windows 7 is always moving in the predetermined places icons on the desktop.

  Original title : The Windows 7 desktop icons

  Using windows 7 Home premium.  I used to organize the icons on my desktop at my convenience and have used this method through earlier versions without any problem.  Now when I open an application (for example a game) and then close, the icons were re-arranged and if you were to draw a horizontal line through the center of the screen all the icons appears above the horizontal line. I now use the larger icons but changed the size of the icons without effect on the problem. I've also updated the driver for the monitor. I put the settings of view to 'align with the grid', 'show the desktop icons' and 'display the Google desktop gadgets '. I have tried log off, reboot, hard reboot to nothing does not.

  Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, I didn't need to apply your suggestions.  While trying to dust on the 20 years of retirement, since I last used the skills of troubleshooting, I noticed something that I had not mentioned either at the bottom of the waa icons re-arranged a horizontal line that was to the toolbar for Lotus Smartsuite.  After a few seconds, the toolbar has gone to the bottom of the screen where it belonged. I remembered that I had problems installation of Lotus and finally had to install it by using the 'administrator' option. Then I closed Smartsuite and tested and icons stayed where I put them. SmartSuite deleted in my menu in msconfig and the problem disappeared.  He is not fixed, but I'm not going to spend $250 + cash for a Lotus compatible with windows7.  The only function of Lotus, I need is 123 and I can open and close when I need it.

• Recent Places icon appearing on the desktop when ever I go to recent locations in the Favorites

  When ever I go to recent locations in the Favorites page to clean my memory this recent locations icon appears on the desktop WITHOUT option to right click and delete OR drag it to the trash

  I found a tutorial on the web that provides a way to remove the icon
  1.right - click recent locations in the field of Favorites tab in Explorer.
  2. click on "send to", and then select Desktop
  This will automatically replace the existing icon and replace it with a DESKTOP SHORTCUT
  3. simply delete the shortcut
   
  But this issue should be fixed in next update, or maybe it is set in point 8.1 of Windows because it's REALLY BORING to this procedure whenever you clear recent locations

  Thank you very much! To solve my problem... As you have said, I hope there will be an update so that we do not have to constantly...

  Much appreciated, Cheers
