Need desktop icons lock up for WINDOWS 8
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Well, turns out this problem is solved on ANOTHER microsoft support thread... so microsoft support people aren't even good at searching their OWN site! Anyway, there is another setting that allows the icons to scroll..
Done... thanks for nothing microsoft... Greg
p.s. why in the **** is this defaulted to on?
The Auto Arrange is not checked. And the desktop items are continually rearranged when I reopen my computer.
Organise your icons to how you want them, and then try right clicking on an empty space and click "refresh". That should work... it worked when I tried it and they've stayed put ever since.
Amen! Microsoft, where are you?
What's even more annoying is 20 days later and still no response from Microsoft... :-(
