Windows7 task bar icons won't stay where I put them

• Windows 7 pro 64. The desktop icons won't stay where I put them. After a reboot, the desktop icons are always rearranged.

  I've set up my office while I have the following icons down the left side of the top in the following order: computer, network, System (C), (D) options, reader of DVD (E), trash.

  Whenever I restart my computer, the icons are rearranged as: computer, network, trash, reader of DVD (E), options (D), System (C).

  I don't want to add all the new icons on the desktop, because I know they won't stay where I put them. When I was using XP it would happen only when I changed resolution but with Win 7, it happens every time that I reboot.

  Reorganization of auto desk is off, snap to grid is turned off, sort by has verified. I use two monitors. All the gadgets that I have in my hand right 2ndary monitor are stay in place very well. The icons gives me the problem are on the left side of the left main screen.

  I made an image of my hard drive just after the installation of windows 7 and before to install the drivers of manufacturers and updates of windows.

  Today, I restored this image, reinstalled the drivers from manufacturers and made the updates of windows. The problem seems to have disappeared now.

  I am re-imaging my hard drive after you install the complete driver/updating. I hope I don't need to use it, but I will if I have to. I still don't know what caused it in the first place, but at least now I have an option of fast food if it happens again. I'll recreate the image on the hard drive after all major software install from that time, I have two images. A fundamental right after pilot installations and one after each installation of software.

• THE DESKTOP ICONS WON'T STAY WHERE I PUT THEM

  I tried to combine some icons on my desktop in the way that suits me, but I often find that they won't stay where I put them.

  Sometimes they simply will not sit when I try to put them (especially near the perimeter) and at other times, after that I did something else, when I go back on the desktop what they moved.

  Thanks for that.

  That was the problem.

  When I opened the menu as you have suggested, "align icons on the grid" has been selected.

  When I removed the tick that solved the problem.

  Thank you kindly.

• Everytime I try and reorganize my favorites they won't stay where I put them!

  Everytime I try and reorganize my favorites (when I save one that is not at the end, more that it lies in the middle of the list) and another one of my friends got moved on accident, I can't make them stay in place. I used to be able to just click on bookmarks, and then drag the bookmark around where I wanted to and he stayed, or open organize and settle there, but neither allows places to stay! This is driving me crazy. Help! There must be a way to move the bookmark where I want in the list!

  after organizing bookmarks they later get converted

  Make sure that you are not in private browsing.

  You can rearrange the bookmarks in the bookmarks menu, the bookmarks bar and bookmarks-not sorted. You can rearrange the folders in the s in the library list, but not bookmark in the columns - sorting the columns is temporary.

  I find the best arrangement is alphabetical for all my bookmarks and use of the "SortPlaces: extension to sort by alphabetical order of their." I will not allow the bookmarks toolbar to sort when I ask extensions to sort my favorites, but I have 3 bookmark separators to break up into groups. A group is sorted within the group, but stay in the group separator. See the following article...

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox

  I'm hosting my "Unsorted Bookmarks" sort, but I throw in bookmark separators down sometimes so if I set some people more late bookmarks into folders in my menu "bookmarks", I can find more added at about the same time to also move into the fold identical or related.

  If you don't think that the above applies to you, you're not sorting or synchronization of bookmarks, then make a clear change in say your bookmarks bar, then restart Firefox to see if the change is still there.

  If your change back to what you had before the change, check the timestamp date update on your places.sqlite file, if it is not running, then the file is not being updated can you can see another copy of the file named places.sqlite.corrupt which can be the one you need (check dates). Delete/rename then rebuild your places.sqlite will result in the loss of the story and you want to try all other means to solve your problem and making sure that you really have a problem before you destroy your data in the history.

  Minimize the problems of prevention: always close Firefox correctly with file > exit or the red/orange "Firefox" button then exit (not with the 'X' top-right that is close this window). Always back up your Firefox profile and all the personal data.

• Why don't my desktop icons stay where I put them?

  My laptop is a HP Pavillion DV7 - 3164cl, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  My question is simple I don't know, but I can't understand it.  I fix my icons from the desktop to the places I want them, I turned off the computer and when I turn it back on, the icons went back to their columns on the left side of the screen, how can I keep them I would?

  Thanks for any help!  Janell

  Thanks for your suggestion.  I tried but appreciate your time trying to help me solve this problem.  It doesn't really help.  When I went back to the box that you sent a picture, I noticed the choice of refresh.  I re-arranged my icons again, refresh shot, handed over my computer and they stayed where I put them!  Problem solved.

• CS 6 Image Windows don't stay where I put them

  I installed CS 6 yesterday.  My system runs Win 7 64-bit.  In Preferences > Interface, like I did in CS 5, I unchecked the two Documents open as tabs and enable floating Document window.  However, unlike 5 CS, CS 6 images 'insist' to position themselves in the upper left corner of the CS 6 and will cover both the options bar and the toolbar.  For example, this will happen after opening a picture if I try to move it or I enlarged the image (CTRL-0) window.  If I open two images and try to move one, so I can see them both at the same time, one that I'm trying to move will not stay where I put it but rather will reposition itself in the upper left corner and cover the toolbar options and the menu bar.

  As you can image, this allows to work in CS 6 difficult and inconvenient.  I guess it of a bug and wonder if there is no workaround or alternative solution.  So far, I have not yet uninstalled and reinstalled CS 6.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Best regards

  David

  It is a known problem in cs6, if you have the bar of tasks at the top or left on the office.

  The workaround solution before it resolved must be auto-hide the taskbar, or move it to the bottom of the right side of the desktop.

• How can I prevent the office move my icons! On XP, they stayed where I put them. Help!

  I had my dear start XP icons grouped together on the desk as I wanted.

  Now, on Windows 7, whenever I connect, an evil force has moved their.

  It drives me crazy!

  Help!  How can I say 7 to LEAVE MY CONFIGURATION only ONE ICON!

  TIA

  HB

  Right click on an empty area on the desktop and choose "sort by" and uncheck the option "auto arrange".

  Also note that Windows will move your icons if you switch to a different monitor/TV or plug in or unplug a monitor.  It does if the monitors have different numbers of pixels, so no icon is set up out of sight.

  A screencast of my problem:

  http://f.CL.LY/items/0c3v0N040M1s0q123j1J/illustratorissue.MP4

  My Illustrator was really wobbly recent; Mainly just do not keep lines where I put them. Is there a grid of invisible pixels that I have accidentally turned on at some point, and now everything that seeks to align with it?

  I work in very large formats, and I already tried to reinstall Illustrator. I can't seem to find anything on the Adobe forums, but I confess that I am struggling to find info I need online.

  Someone at - it a preview?

  What was the new Document profile used at the start of the document? If Web or video, there is "Snap to Pixel Grid" on by default in these NDPs. You can turn off in the transformation Panel and selecting all the existing elements, turn off for them in the Transform Panel dialog box.

  I have 10 items.  I'm trying to update camera raw plug so it will read the first lines of a 7dmarkii shot. I can't find where to put them to update to the latest version of 8.7.  If someone could please point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it!

  Normally, I shoot with the 7dmarki and have never had any problems.  After troubleshooting my error message 'cannot open IMG1111 because it's the wrong file type', only the options have been updated plugin raw from the camera, to buy the latest version or uninstall and reinstall.  First train to the plugin to update because it was a leased device.  Thanks again!

  Thanks MichelBParis!  I didn't see where he said to 12 items.  I downloaded the free DNG Converter last night and not had much luck.  It is not recognizing that I have all files in the folder at all.  Don't know what I'm doing wrong!

• Windows 7 task bar icons stopped normal mouseover of the functions.

  Usually, when you mouse over or hover over the 'show desktop' without clicking, you should see the office with a visible transparent window frames. It has stopped working. Usually when you hover over the icon of internet explorer in the taskbar, you can see thumbnail pages of everything you have open. Now it produces a list of these pages display. I tried to look at the taskbar settings, but do not see how I could change these functions.

  Now, click OK in each window to complete this action.

  In addition, make sure you have a selected Aero theme:
