  1. Moving icons is different than other versions of wondows


    At work, we just upgraded from windows 7 and I have some documents on the desktop

    When I move or delete files, I have empty spaces. I like everything aligned starting from the top left corner going down. So in windows 7, when moving icons and some go off screen they will appear at the top of the screen next to the other icons.

    In windows 10, the icons just keep going along the bottom.

    Is there a way to change this back to how it worked in windows 7?

    Desktop Icon Keeps On Moving

    That's because your resolution is changing each time. To test, try setting to 1024x768, arrange a couple of icons and then restart the PC. As long as the resolution after startup is still 1024x768, then the icons won't move. Trust me. *Wink Moving icons is different than other versions of wondows ;)

    Two bugs in GPU-Z - icon and version number

    Two bugs in GPU-Z - missing icon and version number

    ...version 0.6.6. Running on Windows 7 64-bit SP1, Ultimate. Using Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 videocard.
    The only thing special on my system is I use Stardock Fences 2.01.
    1st bug - No icon?? My GPU-Z lost its icon in one of the last updates, and trying to set an icon for it, Windows 7 says "The file C:\Program Files (x86)\GPU-Z\CPU-Z.exe contains no icons. Choose an icon from the list or specify a different file."
    Is this a bug or an oversight? Or is my GPU-Z.exe file damaged somehow?

    2nd bug - I can't see the version number anywhere now. Please add an About screen, or another way to see the version - it just shows the GPU core temp now.

    Desktop Icon Keeps On Moving

    I see. I was using a 23" monitor before and the highest resolution was below 1080p so I guess windows remembers that monitors resolution right? I have tried de.das.dude suggestion, but everytime I turn off the computer after arranging the icons it goes back to misarranging the icons.
