    Marcus,

    Mine did not and remains as I wish since I did this Mar 7.  Maybe you should repeat the process.

    Regards,

    Hi,

    Use the free utility I posted on page two of this thread - DesktopOk which is easy to use.

    Yes same thing seems to be happening to me as well.

    This is actually why I came here in the first place.

    Still nothing fixes the group of icons scrolling off screen...

    Tried everything in this thread.

    Microsoft, do you want a video of what happens to understand? I HATE having to refresh the screen every time my group of desktop icons slides off the screen (normally upwards)

    I thought it was because I had a mix of 1920 x 1080 and 1920 x 1200 monitors, but it's not that.
