desktop icons RRS feed

  • Question

  • It amazes me that Microsoft being  such a large company with so many computer geniuses on staff---why can't they make it so our desktop icons stay where we put them.

    I am running w-10 and every time I go back and forth between user accounts the icons are all over.  All I want is for them to stay put.

  • Hi Sandy12586,

    I guess your setting is [Auto arrange icons].

    Try this:
      1. Right-Click your desktop where no icons exist
      2. [View] -- select [Align icons to grid]
