314091 2005-01-15 07:28:00 Try unclicking "Auto Arrange" works for Win.ME jebby (4580)
314092 2005-01-15 23:42:00 Wo! Tried fiddling with arrange icins but all that happened was that icons began to flicker in and out, leaving little holes in wallpaper. Back to auto arrange and they all fled to the left side, and I still can't move 'em. I must say whosoever can solve this will appear godlike in my eyes. GS Guerilla Surgeon (6848)
