  1. Desktop Icons keep changing place while I'm moving the icons


    I've never run into this before, but for some reason I just can't arrange my desktop icons because of this. Possibly because I recently got a 1440p monitor and am running dual monitor with that and a 1080p monitor? Any help would be appreciated, it's driving me crazy. Thanks!

    Desktop Icon Keeps On Moving

    That's because your resolution is changing each time. To test, try setting to 1024x768, arrange a couple of icons and then restart the PC. As long as the resolution after startup is still 1024x768, then the icons won't move. Trust me. *Wink Desktop Icons keep changing place while I'm moving the icons ;)

  3. Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.

    Desktop Icon Keeps On Moving

    I see. I was using a 23" monitor before and the highest resolution was below 1080p so I guess windows remembers that monitors resolution right? I have tried de.das.dude suggestion, but everytime I turn off the computer after arranging the icons it goes back to misarranging the icons.
