    Folder icon positioning


    I have several computers running either Win10 or Win11. On all but one, when I create a new desktop folder, it stays where I create it. On ONE computer, every time I create a new desktop folder it moves to the first 'open' position from the left of the screen. This occurred while the machine was operating under Win10 and continues to do so under Win11. I have turned "snap to grid" on and off and find it make no difference.Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone know how to fix it? It is extremely irritating, especially when you have to move or close several windows to find a fold
