November 1, 201015 yr Every time I restart my computer or install software, one icon on my desktop moves. The icon is a .docx; my icons are scattered about the desktop in groups, auto arrange and align to grid is off. I have shortcuts, folders and other .docx files this is the only one that moves. I cannot think of anything that would cause this, any ideas?
November 2, 201015 yr I will never understand how people can stand desktop icons... Is the file on a removable drive? That's all I could think of.
November 9, 201015 yr Author It is not on a removable drive. Now the icon next to the docx file has started to move on reboot instead. It is a .txt file.
November 9, 201015 yr Desktop icons are a nightmare, I can't get them to follow any logic either. I only keep a small row of shortcuts to my games on Steam nowadays, but I think of them as small animals that can think independently and get up to no good when I restart*. They normally learn to stay where I leave them after I repeatedly force them back to their proper location, but if they're moved because I've messed around with the display settings, they'll develop free will for a week or so again. They particularly dislike living on a monitor that's not primary. I'd love to know how to make sure that their locations are saved. *I swear Half Life 2 has feelings for Garry's Mod. ~ W ~
