Can someone advise me please how to unlock the icons in a folder so they can be moved around instead of being locked to a grid all the time? This was the default option in XP but I can't find out how to do it in Win 7.
Kind Regards
Chris

Thank you Richard and Boohbah for your replies. Yes it was within folders I wished to disable auto arrange rather than the desktop. I went to the link and followed the instructions and now the folders are as I want them. Within the folders there is now a right click option to uncheck auto arrange. I can't think why this option was not made default in Windows 7 from the beginning.
Kind Regards
Chris
If I uncheck align icons to grid and arrange my icons, when I reboot the system the align icons to grid is checked again and all my arrangement gone back to the left of the desktop.
Any suggestion to fix this?
Thank you
