john_hennessy4 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 <p>With the current version of the Nvidia driver I am getting a different and annoying behavior regarding my desktop icons: they won’t stay put.<br> For every program except Photoshop, I use one monitor at1280x1024 resolution with all the icons fitting in that space.</p> <p>For Photoshop, I use two monitors with the main one set at 1600x1200. Before upgrading the driver, the icons would stay where they were relative to each other and the upper left corner of the screen. When I switched back to 1280x1024, the icons would still be where I put them.<br> <br /> <br /> Now with every change of resolution the icons jump around, lining themselves up vertically in columns starting in the upper left and in random order.<br /> <br /> Does anyone know how to make icons stay where I put them?<br /> <br /> Thanks.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomwatt Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 <p>Presuming this is Windows XP, right nclick on the desktop... top (or near the top) choice should be "Arrange Icons By..." Take a look at that and see what's selected... "Auto Arrange" is the product feature you are experiencing. Deselect that, and choose "Lock ..." once you've got your items where you want them.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_hennessy4 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 <p>The problem is that something in Nvidia is over riding "Lock Web Items..." and "Align to Grid..." with the result looking like "Auto Arrange." I don't know if this is a bug or a controllable "feature" that I don't know how to control. A minor pain in either case.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
