    Desktop Shortcuts Moving And Disappearing: Why ?


    Hello,

    Not too important, but annoying.

    a. Some of my Desktop shortcut icons (usually the same ones) do not seem to be where I left them upon closing the PC. Sort of random; sometimes they are where they should be, other times they have moved upon re-booting up.

    b. And, sometimes they just disappear. Were there upon closing, but gone upon the restarting of the PC.

    Why is this ?
    Anything that can be done ?

    Thanks,
    Bob

    Don't turn off the PC.


    Sorry... Have you ever used dual monitors or clicked Connect To A Projector ? This can cause oddities when later using a single monitor.

    Hi Robert - Have a read through this and see if it helps - The desktop (overview).

    Have you been playing any games? Sometimes games that are set to a certain resolution will cause you icons to move from resizing your desktop.
