Windows keeps reordering my desktop icons, for example moving the "my computers" shortcut in with the rest of the shortcuts, instead of where i leave it (at the top of the desktop). Is there a way to disable this?
r-click on the desktop > View and untick Auto arrange icons
The problem with that is my icons no longer fall into a neat grid arrangement- they hover exactly where I left them. I'm trying to get the same desktop arrangement that I had in XP, with My Computer, Recycle Bin, and Firefox leading on the top so they're easy to reach.
Right click on the Desktop > View > Align to Grid .
Probably it is unchecked there . Check it now .... icons will stop placing wherever .
