moving icons
From time to time, my desktop icons rearrange themselves, into columns on
the left. It isn't a big problem, as I have EZdesk, but I am curious about two points: 1, obviously - what causes it? 2: they aren't continuous columns. My normal arangement is around the edge of the screen, more or less. If you do an auto arrange, it puts them in a solid column down the left side, then a solid row in the second column, and so on. This self-rearrangement does mostly that, but there are gaps. (No overlapping/hidden ones, I think.) I've seen it do it, very occasionally, and you'd expect it to start top left, and go down in stripes (rows) until it's placed them all. But no, it starts at where it would finish - i. e. part way down an incomplete row some way across the screen, and goes UP and then left, i. e. (a) completely the reverse order (b) it knows where it's going to finish/start! Very odd. -- J. P. Gilliver | Tel.: 01634 203298 |
