    Moving HomeGroup Icon


    I just installed Office and a Homegroup icon appeared on my desktop. I want to move it to a different place on my desktop. Every time I try to move it, it moves right back. Is there a way to make it stick where you want it? I know how to remove it but it is a very nice icon. *Cool

    Homegroup

    I find my PC suddenly in homegroup. How did I get in? I did not join homegroup. What happen if I disconnect my PC from homegroup. Will I still get connected to internet. I see that the icon for internet access in the task bar is x-red but I still could get
    internet access.

    Moving HomeGroup Icon

    Hello Ak,

    You can right click on your desktop, click on View in context menu, and click on to uncheck Auto arrange icons. Afterwards, you should be able to move it where you like on your desktop. *Smile

    Hello Brink,

    I searched and followed your instructions before I posted and it did not work for me. I already had that auto arrange unchecked. So I checked it and all my icons moved including the homegroup icon. I unchecked auto arrange again and I could move all the icons except the homegroup icon. Now it is in the middle of my desktop and not at the left side, even more annoying there. *Shock

    I have to wonder why someone at Microsoft made this icon so special?

    Hmmm... I just started Win 10 again and the Homegroup icon has vanished from my desktop. I opened the File Explorer and the Homegroup shows there. I used it to create a shortcut on the desktop and I can move that anywhere I want.

    Thanks for your help,
    Ak
