Hi, Kirk.

What is your setting for icons on your Desktop?

Right-click on the Desktop and look at its View context menu. Do you have
it set to Auto arrange icons?

I was having other arcane problems with my icons, like suddenly
the icons that used to live on the lefthand border of my desktop
suddenly having moved to the middle of my screen, so I'd changed
the setting to Auto Arrange which caused them to move back to the
left border.

Right now, the only items checked on my Icon sorting is "none,"
but the icons still won't move. The "View" settings are Classic
Icons, Align icons to grid, and Show Desktop Icons.

Icons still no move without Cut and Paste.
