Re: Desktop icons won´t save

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

In your fist post you stated that you deleted layout.ini.

Did you mean layout.dll?

Werner Tröger <WeT-Klb@xxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
If Auto Arrange is checked...
The icons are arranged in columns along the left side of your screen.


No, not checked


Sorry, i made one mistake. I unchecked "Auto Arrange", restarted and tried
again to move an icon.
But i didn´t watch the check in fornt of Auto Arrange returned. What ever
i change on the desktop settings will be ignored it seems.

I can´t get rid of AutoArrange and i can´t save the desired positions of
the icons.

Greetings Werner
