    Cannot move a single icon


    When I attempt to move an icon on the desktop, several other icons move with it. Can I disable this "feature"?

    Also you could try, Right Click on the Desktop & this should open a menu with various items you can try, such as View, Sort By, Align Icons to Grid, Icon Size etc..
