Desktop Icon Position Lost

Postby jl1 » 16.10.2008 10:32:24

Hi All,
Not sure if this is specifically an issue with Dexpot or some other windows settings, but help appreciate either way :)

I like turning off auto-arrange and arrange-to-grid for desktop icons, and arranging them where I want them. I recently installed dexpot, and restarted a couple of times, and the position for most of them was lost, but oddly a couple stayed where I'd put them.

Any help with what decides when this happens or if I can save desktop icon position much appreciated.

Hi,

have a look into the Dexpot Settings. Right-Click on the Dexpot tray icon>Settings.
You choose "Switching Desktops" and the tab "Desktop elements".

Here you can change the behaviour Dexpot customises the desktop icons. :D

Regards

Thanks for the reply.

So if I turn off customize desktop icons, would that make Dexpot leave all the icons where I put them? (So if they move after that, then something else is doing it?)

Thanks!

Yes. It should. But than you have the same icons on all desktops. I'd prefer to uncheck only the option "Align to grid" and "Auto Arrange".
