| 300613 | 2004-12-07 20:30:00 | Hi People, Anyone know how to get the win98se desktop items to stay put where I drag them...? Tried all the 'arrange icons' options in 'active desktop'... life of their own atm :) cheers Pete |

| 300614 | 2004-12-07 20:33:00 | dont you use auto arrange in the arrange items place | noone (22) | ||
| 300615 | 2004-12-07 20:33:00 | ^always works for me | noone (22) | ||
| 300616 | 2004-12-07 20:54:00 | You could try www.midiox.com (www.midiox.com) Desktop Restore[/url] which gives you a right-click menu item "restore desktop" to the one you saved. I haven't used it, but I have been told it is great, from a customer. |

| 300617 | 2004-12-07 20:57:00 | Or , most likely it is what noone suggests, take off the auto-arrange tick. | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 300618 | 2004-12-07 21:20:00 | Why not put all your desktop items into a few relevant files and put an nice pic up to look up? sal.neoburn.net |

| 300620 | 2004-12-07 23:10:00 | Lol Noone, You should have seen it before I read about being tidy, in the latest PCworld. |

| 300621 | 2004-12-08 05:27:00 | Thanks for replies but no banana ! I have tried , as i said all combinations of active desktop/ icon arrange.... auto arrange on, auto arrange off.... I have three icons.... my computer, recycle bin and folder with all shortcuts in it. I like the minimalist approach I just want them to stay where I drag them :) cheers Pete |
