Placing Desktop Shortcut Icons
Every time I use the rt. click / create shortcut.... the icons are placed in
the same spot (upper left corner). Is there a way to choose where these shortcut icons are placed on the desktop? Thanks, Oreally |

Thanks, Oreally Can't say for 7, but for XP and earlier, I'd ask have you got auto arrange of icons turned on? IIRR 7 has more versatile control rather than just on or off, but something similar.

Please don't post a followup and email a private reply at once: if you really must, at least say (at the top of both) that you're doing so.
