    Desktop Icons Keep Resetting?


    First time poster. My body is ready.

    Basically, every time I re-size my desktop icons to a more comfortable size, and then later reboot. They return to their original chunky size. Could someone shed any light on why it keeps doing this?

    Tried several fixes from Windows 7 forums, but to no avail.

    :)

    How to keep desktop icons in the same place after rebooting?

    Original Title: Desktop personalisation - icons

    Does someone know how to keep desktop icons in the same place - that is after previously turning off or rebooting?

    Cannot right click on my Desktop. Icons Missing.

    Click on your desktop. Then press SHIFT+F10 to bring up the context menu on your desktop. Turn "Show desktop icons" back on for now.

    This is a known bug in 10547. You'll want to keep "Show desktop icons" on in this build.
