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.

    I've been running Windows 7 for about a week, but today I had a "Recent favorite places" icon on my desktop and I can't remove it.
    When I right click on it I get "open, clear recent items and create a shortcut ' no deletion.

  • Start the list of all menu Programs - folder accidentally moved to the desktop

    I just got a new computer with Windows 7.  I accidentally dragged a folder in the "all programs" list in the start menu on the desktop.  I just wanted to create a shortcut, but accidentally moved the folder instead.  How do I restore the folder to the list of "all programs"?

    Hello

    That is not a problem and it is easy to retrieve.  You are going to want to go where the files and folders are stored in your Start menu and the best way to do this is to open your Start menu, go to all programs and on another folder with the right mouse button and choose explore.  This will put you in the location wherever the folders and shortcuts are stored.  From there, just move up a level and move the backrest to the workstation and you should be good.

    For more information, there are 2 folders that make up what you see in the menu start, a common (or public) and a private.  Both get merged to give a smooth.

    The common (public), one is to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program

    and the private sector, one is C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

    Files above are below hidden folders so you will need to first enable the option to view hidden folders and files, but the right click Explore method is the best way to get there anyway.

    Finally, if you want to create a shortcut to a folder on the start menu, find it and then right click and choose "send to".  Under this menu, you will see an option to create a shortcut on the desktop.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck & enjoy Windows 7

  • Icons cannot be moved on the desktop

    I just changed my desktop image.  I noticed the trash moved to the side left (he was on the right side at the start) in line with my other icons.  When I try to drag the icon to the trash to another area on the desktop, it jumps to the left side.  What I've done wrong?

    It seems that "Auto arrange" has set in motion.

    Right-click on an empty space on your desktop, then:

    Organize the icons in-> uncheck "auto arrange".

Press the [F8] key function 8 on your keyboard which will launch the menu Advanced Boot Options.

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run

  • How to open search results in the same window in Firefox always done before the last update 22

    Before the last update, on that I would do a search let say Google and when I found what I wanted and clicked on, that the window would turn to the result in this window, now it opens a new window. Another question is I noticed when I have gmail open in a window and open another window that result is displayed, and then switches to the original which was open, modified window and the new window is reduced in the bottom taskbar, and I come back to open it again. Whether measures should be taken, please list them.

    Hi years.1, Flash is used by many sites to play videos and audio. It is also used by some sites for menu or the overall presentation systems. Some sites also use Flash to downloaders of files.

    Firefox in general will let you know if a site needs a plugin to display all of the content, but you may also see a message on the site. These messages are not always specific to Flash, but can sometimes say that JavaScript is disabled or else referring to the problem.

    To manually start a backup

     

    1. Open history file by hitting swipe in the edge right of the screen, tap Find (or if you use a mouse, pointing to the top right of the screen, move the pointer of the mouse down and then clicking search), enter the parameters of the file history in the area of research and then by typing or clicking on the file history settings.

  • Navigation pane completely screwed after Parent folder library moved to the desktop by mistake

    Please someone help me! I was at the own temporary file last night and somehow in the process I need to have done drag the folder of libraries under the desk on the Navigation pane. So I had Office appear under Favorites and then as one of the bureau which had libraries in it as well as Documents, music, photos and videos. I found a suggestion of support that says right click on libraries and then "restore default". However, this does not work. I then found another suggestion of support under another question posted and he said to go to your username and to restore by default and now ALL my files are appearing under the second office. (First Office is always appear under Favorites.) When I watch the office itself there is no shortcut to libraries. I just like my tree organized as the default Windows Navigation pane. I am petrified to do more on mine because I don't want to make one delete a folder and lose anything! On top of that, I have Sync of sugar which is on my old laptop and my other I'm talking about now. I had taken two laptops for "Geek Squad" to have everything transferred on another and explained that I had a storage cloud sync program. They said they knew all about who and how to get all the data on the new laptop. I told them that I didn't need to use the cable to transfer mobile to mobile. HOWEVER, when I picked up the laptops, they HAD used the cable and all the folders have been duplicated! I didn't know how to get rid of duplicates (not knowing which was the record 'original' and who was the double, so I left it alone.) At least I knew how to find my stuff! I wish I could post a screenshot of what it looks like now, but I can't understand how to do it anymore. I press prt sc to copy it to the Clipboard and then try to paste here, but it does not work. Sorry this is so long and hiking but I wanted to try to describe what happened. I'm desperate! Any help is appreciated!

    Well good to remove the nine, just right-click and use 'delete' or 'delete' (varies according to the place where the icon).  Without prejudice to the because you can always pick up something from the trash if you accidentally delete.

    What I would say is just first TreeViewImageSet.Custom to folder Explorer all values by default in order to boot from a fresh install by default.  To do this:

    1. Click on organize at the top left of the folder, choose folder and Search Options
    2. Click 'Restore defaults' on all 3 tabs, and then click OK.
