Hi there,

I have windows xp prof. When I try and relocate icons on
my desktop they snap back to a default. Where is the
settin to change this. I want to be able to move them
around and not have them snap back.


Thanks

Right click on your desktop

Then go to Arrange Desktop By

Disable Auto Arrange

Hope this helps,
