Another Win7 desktop fault is it won't let you put a final icon on the far right hand side @ 1920x1080 with the screen fixed on "Align icons to grid"
It will however let items like clock/calendar etc fix to the far right hand edge. The other thing is the icons above the bottom taskbar are too high above it and should be lowered a line (again with desktop set at "Align icons to grid" Screen res. text is set @ larger(150%) in my case too! |

You can use an AppCompat database for it, or 3rd party applications (like WinLauncher). There's even an article here on sevenforums on how to make it a right-click menu option, for what it's worth. Google is your friend here, because there's many ways to skin this cat.
As you may notice: "The affinity changes you make to the current instance of an application or process are only temporary and not set permanently." And this is the point! Actually, I would love to have an option to apply affinity / priority setting permanently to applications (shortcuts) in the same manner as it is right now with compatibility settings. Too often I recalled this issue only when the system had become unresponsive due to some application meddling with image processing or rendering. |

Did you miss the part about using an AppCompat database shim? That is permanent, as are some of the other tricks you can use. If you do it *manually*, then yes, it's temporary. There are lots of options for making it permanent, this is just one of them.

At the end of the day, you would need to 'fine tune' the layout in any OS where you change icon sizes if you still want them to line up in a nice neat grid. Try scrolling the mouse wheel one or two clicks on your desktop while holding the control key (CTRL), that'll resize the icons in small steps. Maybe then you'll find a size that's still easy to see and allows better use of your desktop space. |

I have a 40 in. screen at 200 %, 1920/1080. This is what works for me. Make the icon on you desktop the way you want them. Two more times right click desktop and select refresh. My desktop stays that way until I change it again.

Pretty sure the presence of a trusted platform module, whether active or not, prevents installing a full retail version of 7 home premium in used laptops that are otherwise well above the recommended system requirements.. will know for sure by the end of the week.
