When you start adding shortcuts to your Desktop these icons have to be arranged somehow.
By default Explorer arranges them by Auto-Arrange.
If you want to customize the arrangement do this:
Right-Click the Desktop | Arrange Icons By |
Uncheck the two options:
* Auto Arrange
* Align to Grid
Now you can freely drag the icons to any position you want.
Have fun.![]()
When I first got Windows XP Pro edition, the recycle bin was in the bottom right corner, which I liked. Now it is on the left side with the other desktop icons. How can I get it back to the bottom? Thanks for your help anyone.
