    taskbar icon absolute placement


    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone knows a way to get icons to stay EXACTLY where you put them. I use the 'desktop' feature on the taskbar and have multiple rows of icons and i would like to be able to organise icons into the second etc row before having filled up the first row, or place them on the right hand side without having filled all the space in between. basically i want to plce an icon where i want it and have it stay right there not slide over.
    thanks for any insight.

    You could create QuickLaunch + display a number of those icons in your TaskBar, or you could use some 3rd party software such as
    7 Taskbar Tweaker or Fences.

Multi-monitor - icon placement

I have a setup with three monitors using the one in the middle as the primary one. It seems that I can't place icons in the lowest row of the primary monitor, as they will snap and jump to the row above it. If there is another icon above it, this icons kinda gets in the way and prevents the problem...
Hello, When I drop an icon to my desktop there is a problem. The icon is placed at the first room which is free at the top left corner even if i drop it anywhere else. And my goal is to place it at a special place (where I drop it), as this function works on all OS that I know :/ Thank you...

I know that icons for the desktop are stored in the Desktop folder. But where is the placement information stored? Each time I boot the computer the desktop icons are just where I left them.
I've got some Icons that I want to pin to the taskbar (eg Exel & Libraries). I want them to stay furthest left near the start button (just as they did in WIN XP fast launch area). But, as I open other programs in WIN 7 these Icons move and others get inserted to their left. How can I stop...
Losing desktop icon placement.
in General Discussion

Windows forgets my icon placement on the desktop when I restart the pc or exit some games. Some of of us have no icons on our desktop, some of us have 50. Maybe it's not necessarily Windows fault, could be nVidia but either way I would think by now there should be a way to save your icon placement...
