    Desktop icons


    My desktop icons used to be at bottom of screen (horizontal) and all of a sudden they are at right side and vertical.

    I didn't do anything (that I know of) to change it, but I kind of like it.

    What setting do I use to keep it there?

    Thanks,

    Paul

    Right click on the Taskbar and select Properties. Check the highlighted setting (it should be set to Right for the way you have it now).

    Thanks-

    It is set for right, although I have no idea how it got that way.

    Strange one, at least you know how to change it back now if you want to. :)
