New icons location in Desktop

Yes, it's kinda ridiculous issue , but see this image:




The downloads I make appear between the Computador (Computer) and the Anderson (Default User) folder, which sucks! I like my Desktop organizated, I wish the itens I download went to the space after the last shortcut, in this example, below Nero StartSmart.

One solution I found to this was setting the sorting mode to Time Modified, but when I do this, I can't use Auto Arrange, or the Computador, Anderson and Lixeira icons are moved to the end of the list.

I know it's nothing important, but I just wish it was like Windows XP. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi, Welcome to SF,

You could try to uncheck Auto Arrage option. First arrange the way you want then Right Click on Desktop > Arrange Icons By > uncheck Auto Arrange see whether that makes a difference.

Hope this helps,

Sorry, I had misstranslated "Auto Arrange". That's what I meant with "Auto Organize" in the first post. Beside of the reason I sayid there, there's another reason why I can't disable Auto Arrange. When I come back from a Full Screen game in a different resolution than my Desktop's, the icons get messed up, they leave a 2 icon space in height below the desktop...

Sorry that's not what you were looking for, Here's some more I found on CNET if you want to look at them. Good luck and I hope you get it figured out.

Seriously, I don't think my problem has something to do with icons themselves.

It's just a Windows 7 arranging "issue".

Your screenshot led me to believe it was an Icon issue, the reason I was suggesting one of those programs is they claim to manage and remember where you want your icons, which is what I thought your problem was. If that's not what your trying to do, I apologize for not understanding what you wanted.

I hadn't found in those lists a program who does that (remember icon positions).

And don't take me wrong, I really appreciate your help attempts!


Well, I guess that there's no real solution for that, it's just how Win7 is. I think I'll just get used to it with time.

Thanks for your help anyway, I'll add a reputation point for you guys.
