[Win Explorer][BUG REPORT ish](shortcut/icons, issue if renamed)
1st if this the wrong sub-forum feel free to move this topic...
OK! IF I renamed a shortcut/icon on either the desktop or shortcuts in the Quick-Launch folder..
THEY WILL LOSE their position details below...
ie. I remade the "Windows IE Quick-Launch Folder" for tacking to the Taskbar same position right side next to the system tray...
- C:\Users\UserProfileName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
Technical the folder already already existed i just had to pin it to the Taskbar lol
FIRST the desktop,
I have a few shortcuts named to include their version # lol
AND I rename them when the program gets a update!!
the position of said renamed shortcuts will only lose their position if I logout and back in OR restart the PC...
ie. the shortcut(s) will get sent to the first available spot in the top left corner of the desktop.. closest to position x=0, y=0 ..
THE WORKAROUND!! lol
IS to MOVE the icon/shortcut to a different spot... then back to where I want it...
it seems to work 90%+ of the time...
OF COURSE if Windows Explorer or Windows in general should crash...
The positions/SETTINGS DO NOT GET SAVED.. M$!!!! UUGh FAIL!!
this applies to the Quick-Launch folder contents too! which is next to describe!..
2nd! the position of shortcuts in the root of the Quick-Launch folder
(ie. and sub folder in quick launch AUTO-SORTS NO EXCEPTIONS!)
ok so I rename a shortcut here and immediately close the popup menu...
WITHOUT FAIL EVERY SINGLE TIME, the position of that shortcuts is REST every single time!!
it resets to position 1 in the list which is the bottom...
workaround is the same, in my case I always move the shortcut up or down one position and move it back to where I want it... I have a SPECIFIC/PRECISE alignment ORDER of these shortcuts...
screenshots attached so you can see what I am talking about...
so what it comes down to is does anyone KNOW a permanent SOLUTION!???
outside of GETTING a bug fix from M$, and the chances of that or even out to to it..
M$ is very secretive about Windows.. and THEY rarely fix anyting.
its all just about the $$$$$$$$$$$
