Desktop Setup

[Guest Jalal]

Would like to know how to save/lock the icons positions on the Desktop

because every time I arrange them, they are rearranged automatically and

randomly.

Re: Desktop Setup

 

Right click on your Desktop, select 'Arrange Icons By', and uncheck 'Auto

Arrange', check 'Align to Grid'.

Re: Desktop Setup

 

The "Auto Arrange" is unchecked and the "Align to Grid" is checked. The

things is that if I arrange them as i want them to be now, tomorrow will be

re arranged automatically and I have noticed that this is happening at same

time every day!!

Hi,

 

Does this happen after a refresh of the desktop? What else is going on at

that same time each day? In the meantime, use save settings on exit (line

54 -right hand side) and also see Lock Desktop Items:

Re: Desktop Setup

 

Do you have any "Scheduled Tasks" that run at this time each day?

The date and time was 2/25/2008 10:02 AM, and on a whim, Jalal pounded

out on the keyboard:

Hi Jalal,

 

Do you have (Arrange icons by) Name, Size, Type, or Modified checked?

Hi Kelly,

 

No, this is not happening after refresh of the Desktop.

 

Nothing other than re-arrangement of the icons on the Desktop at the same

time every day.

 

What I can see is (Lock Web Items on the Desktop) and it is checked.

 

This started to happen only after installing Office 2007, is there is any

link?
