Desktop Icons Invisible While Dragging

Hi All,

I haven't been able to find a message here that addresses this issue.

In Windows 7, when I drag icons around my desktop, they disappear
until I release the mouse button. This makes positioning them
difficult.

In Win 2000 and Win XP, desktop icons are visible when dragging. Is
there a way to get this behavior back in Windows 7?

Please note, this is not a question about "hiding icons" nor am I
saying my icons have permanently disappeared. Note also, this is only
about DESKTOP icons.

The problem is that when clicking a desktop icon with the left mouse
button, then holding the mouse button down and dragging the icon, the
icon becomes invisible, and remains invisible until I release the
mouse button. I can't precisely position an icon under these
circumstances.

This problem is NOT solved by checking the "Show window contents while
dragging" checkbox in the "Performance Options" tab. That box
has
always been checked on my system and it has no effect on visibility of
desktop icons when dragging.

Thanks for any help.

After 9 months, you really thought Ken still monitoring this ancient
thread? Since NSPs delete really old posts beyond some retention
interval, it may no longer be available to Ken.
