Desktop icons won't stay in place
This is not a new problem, but I haven't seen a solution. I have a toshiba laptop running W7 hp x64 whose desktop icons will not stay where I place them. It also doesn't remember icon size.
I have tried:
- toggling settings such as align to grid, auto-arrange
- toggling desktop icons off and on
- turning off "allow themes to change icons"
- creating a new administrative account
- doing post-malware type repairs on icons
- doing a SFC
- installing SP1
- and finally, I just did a repair install.
And none of these solved the problem.
The only thing that comes close is doing a Refresh on the desktop. With a refresh, the new icon locations are locked in. That's nice, but subsequent moves are not remembered.
I would even do a fresh install to get rid of this nuisance, but there are progs on here that I don't want to lose.
I think there must be a specific registry setting somewhere that governs this function. Does anyone know where it is?
