Guest pwrichcreek Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 I have my desktop shortcuts arranged into what I consider logical groupings. Occasionally many of the shortcuts get moved around, disturbing my groupings (and me as well). I think this happens when an application adds a shortcut to the desktop programmatically -- as opposed to my adding a new shortcut manually. Is there a desktop property that I can tweak to keep this from happening? TIA, Phil

Guest pwrichcreek Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 RE: Desktop Shortcuts are Re-arranged Thanks for you reply, Jake. I don't have "auto arrange" selected, but thanks for suggesting that possibility. I didn't even know there was such an option.
