Question on Icons
One of the last steps in setting up my mother’s new computer was general housekeeping, including desktop cleanup. The next morning, the following question arrived in my inbox:My icons on the desktop need to be arranged. I’d like to have them start down about an inch from the top. I can’t place them where I want as I use to. Can you give me a clue how to do it.
Right-click on the desktopWhen I was cleaning up the desktop, I set the icons to auto-arrange, which places them in vertical rows, starting at the upper left corner of the desktop. To turn this off, right-click on any blank space on the desktop, select “Arrange Icons by”, and uncheck “Auto Arrange”. Your icons will then stay where ever you move them. If you leave “Align to Grid” checked, the icons will remain aligned with each other both horizontally and vertically.
