Windows continues to move my shortcuts to Word. How can I stop?

I have several Microsoft Word documents, I have access on a regular basis and keep shortcuts for them on my desk so I can access it easily.  Everytime I open one of the documents, however, Windows moves from the shortcut icon on the desktop and put somewhere else.  The only solution that has been suggested for me so far (often quite insulting) is to turn off the auto arrange and align with the grid options.  It was the first thing I tried, however, and it had no effect (as if we were trying to put "don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" as the default value has no effect).

Is there another way to prevent Windows 7 icons every time I open a document?

Windows 7 is not around - Word is.  When you open a Word file, it creates a temporary copy of the file to keep your changes as you make them.  When you press on save, the original file is destroyed and the temporary copy is saved with the same name.  Because the file is literally deleted a new added, the icon disappears and a new appears in the top left of the screen (or the first location of the open icon).

Windows 7 itself cannot prevent this, because he can not keep the position of a file icon which, in fact, did not exist a few seconds ago.
You can store the Word Documents in your Documents folder (or elsewhere) and use only the .lnk desktop shortcuts.  This should prevent the issue because the temporary file is created in the folder.

  • How can I stop iMovie 10.1.1 from my clips big screen media cultures when I move them to the component of the project (window)?

    I am currently creating a short reel demo/culmination of a feature-length independent full length on my iMac.  The format of independent film is on the big screen and it appears this way in the media window/pane.  But when I take leave of this wide screen support and move clips / add them to the window/pane project and strengthen so the demo highlights reel, clips no longer appear on the big screen - looks like the clips (proportions?) have been cut.

    How can I stop this from happening?

    Thank you!

    If you set 'Placement of Photo' in iMovie preferences to 'Fit' rather than 'Fill' (which I think may be the default) then all your video content will be visible, but you will have bars on it and if the aspect ratio is wider than 16:9.

    For clips already in a timeline, you can change the setting to 'Fit' with the crop tool:

  • Explorer Windows moves the folder selected to the bottom of the folder list. How can I stop this?

    THIS ISSUE DOESN'T HAVE AN ANSWER.    I DID NOT MARK ANY RESPONSE AS SUCH.

    ATTENTION TO THE RESPONSE MODERATOR ABUSE!

    Open windows Explorer
    view folders on the left
    Double-click computer
    Double-click the C drive
    Scroll down to windows Double click

    Double click on diagnostics (example)

    Now, the folder is moved to the bottom of the folder list.

    This also occurs when you click on any folder and you click once on the open gadget.

    It is increadably boring.  How can I stop it?

    Hi j1234567890j - and everyone else that repsonded to the post.

    I also have expierence this problem and as with all those who have responded to this post one lot others that makes me crazy. To make things worse, this problem manifests itself also on open or save file dialog boxes in any application that relies on the Windows file dialog.

    In my case, I also found that the behavior is inconsistent. Sometimes the problem, and sometimes it isn't. -C' is why it is difficult to focus on the behavior and some people are unable to reproduce the problem. So, I think other answers on different computers where this problem cannot be replicated. As a developer, I understand that, since we often have the answer: "...". but it works in my computer... "- and yes it does, because usually a machine of dev/support is implemented for ideal circumstances. I digress...

    Trying to figure out the problem

    I noticed a pattern, however. I found that if I have the folder in question the collapse and redevelop (double click), the browser moves again, this time exposing all the subfolders that are direct descendants of the record in question. I also noticed that if subfolders are too many to display them in the navigation pane, the selected folder is scrolled to the top of the Panel, expose as many records which can be consulted.

    I think the intention of the browsing behavior, it is that when the user develops the folder, it will show as much as possible under folders in view - but I also think it is where there is a bug - or at least where some other parameter has an impact on behaviour. -For some reason, when a folder is expanded the navigation pane only finds the first subfolder and that one--exposes so boring movement of the folder selected from the current position of the mouse pointer.

    Find an answer

    And yes - even if I think that I understand the problem - I agree with everybody elses user experience - this needs to be fixed!

    I'm not sure that a moderator will pick up what this message is marked as awnsered - even if it isn't in my opnion.

    But if someone the fact: I think that provide an option on the general tab of the Folder Options dialog box, a user can turn off this behavior and expand just the folder without attempting to present all folders visible in the navigation pane.

    No problem. I think that the warning means that you will not be able to use Undo to bring back the pictures and it will have to do it manually. There is no risk of corruption.

  • When you open a Word document downloaded, hundreds of tabs begin opening in Firefox. How can I stop this happening?

    I just installed Office 2007 on my computer and downloaded some documents on the internet. When I try to open Firefox becomes crazy and opens the tabs of the browser faster that I can close them, with no sign of stopping. How can I stop what is happening and have access to the downloads? Any help much appreciated!

    OK, solved. It's not Firefox, it's Windows. Somehow, it had been changed to open Word documents as browsers. I had my suspicions that it wasn't Firefox as Word documents to open in form of tabs in the browser even if Firefox is not running. The only way to open a Word doc was if it was already on the hard drive.

    For someone who has a similar problem, it's how to correct:

    Open my computer.
    On the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    Click the File Types tab.
    In the registered file types list, click the file that you are trying to open. In my case, it was the doc files. In the list this type of file has been shown by a Firefox icon, indicating that what was used to open the file.
    Under the list of registered file types scroll details for each file type are displayed, with an option for "opens with:
    Click Edit to the right of the present and choose the program to use in the future. Click OK and close the dialog box file types. This should solve the problem.
