Refreshing my desktop
When I have all windows minimized in my laptop, if I right-click on my
desktop wallpaper and click "Refresh" all my icons are moved to the left of the screen. It also happens when I reboot or startup the laptop. My other computers don't do that, and it's driving me bonkers! Any idea how I can stop the icons from moving? Thanks! -- Imagine all the peple living in peace, love and harmony. |

Re: Refreshing my desktop
It cannot be fixed from the desktop, right-click, menu. I have three
computers and it doesn't happen in the other ones.... Any ideas what can be causing it? -- Imagine all the peple living in peace, love and harmony.

Re: Refreshing my desktop
When right clicking desktop and arrange icons by: what are your settings?

Re: Refreshing my desktop
Only "Show Desktop Items" and "Align to Grid" are checked... I insist the
problem is not with the icon arrangement because my other computers have the same setting and they're fine. It's something more obscure... -- Imagine all the people living in peace, love and harmony.

Re: Refreshing my desktop
I don't know all the details of your system but check this: From control
panel--display--desktop tab---click customize desktop--click on web tab---check lock desktop items.
