Windows Dektop icon selective sorting

Is it possible to pin certain positions of icon on the desktop while you use the service arrange?

It would be really nice to be able to make some fixed icons while you still can self-organize the rest of the mess.

Hello

Please contact Microsoft Community.

Unfortunately I want to tell you that at the time that now, we have nothing better to do this.

There could be any third party application that can help you to do this. So, you can use your favorite search engine to check if there is none.

Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

Hope this information helps.

  • Window Update icon is missing in Windows 7

    The windows update icon does not appear in my system tray even though it has listed updates that have not yet been installed.  The icon was there for August update patches. I usually do not install the patches each month all at once, but I install them in small groups.  August I broke them into 3 groups.  The icon showed before installing the first group, but never showed after the installation of this group. The windows update service is present and shows the status of 'race '.

    Are there patches for this situation?

    e. right click on IconCache.db and click on delete.
    f. click Yes to confirm the deletion.
    NOTE: This deletes the file to the trash. It is safe to empty the trash when you are done.
    g. close the window.
    h. emptying the trash.
    i. restart the computer.
    j. When you come back, you will notice the size of the file IconCache.db is reduced, and the update is now the current date.
    NOTE: If for some reason, IconCache.db isn't there or the size has not changed, then you can just restart the computer again. You may need to restart a few times in some cases.

  • How can I do to repair Windows Vista if I don't have a disk drive & asks me to insert the Windows disk and select Repair.

    I have a netbook with no disk drive that is running Windows Vista.  When I try to turn it on, it tells me that a file is missing or damaged and that I have to install my Windows disk and select repair.  Seeing that I don't have a hard drive on my computer, How can I do to repair vista windows?

    Hello

    Netbooks have the option to reinstall the operating system to when it was new.

    They have a recovery Partition on their hard drives the same as most laptops and desktops...

    You should ask the Netbook Manufactuter for particular key sequence to begin a recovery.

    Some manufacturer's instructions are to press F10 or F11 at startup; others are Alt + F10, etc..

    The installed software doesn't have knowledge written in programming to realize that you have a Netbook and you are unable to insert the disc. That's the way it is written, unfortunately: one size.

    And some more expensive Netbooks now have a DVD player.

    See you soon.
