I reload Windows several time a year. I want to avoid any contaminated files, and ....I enjoy it. One thing I noticed for many years and Windows editions....
After installing the stuff I usually use, I organize the icons on the desktop to my preference. After doing just about anything on the computer or a reboot, the icons revert to their previous unorganized positions. I then move them around again, and same thing happens for several more times. At some point they stay where I put them.
This has been consistent over the years.
This has been consistent over different versions of Windows.
This is after I set View=Auto and Sort=Type
does it take X number of tries intentionally?
Anyone know why it takes several attempts or what triggers the ability for the icons to stay in their new positions?
Thanks!
