When I click and drag a desktop icon the icon left aligns or is positioned to the left when moving (I don't mean the final resting place for the icon, I mean when dragging it) How can I change this?
 
For one, it's difficult when dragging items to the recycle bin because it misses and re-arranges all of my icons. Secondly, something changed that I didn't do intentionally so I would like to know what and how.

Are you able to help MD?

Right-click empty spot on Desktop->Arrange icons by...->Auto Arrange
 
I'm not sure I really understand your problem. Please elaborate.

The active point when dragging is the tip of the arrow, you need to have the
arrow over the recycle bin not the icon you are dragging. I don;t know of
any setting that changes how the icon is positioned when dragging and yes I
do understand the question :)
