Windows 10: Rearrange desktop shortcuts

I have been using windows for over 20 years and have yet seen any solution to this issue. I have folders on one side of my desktop and my shortcuts on the other side of the desktop.When you do a fresh install of graphic drivers all of these get mixed together and no "right clicking and arrange" makes them go back to how i want them.The only way is manually moving them ONE at a time. But want to sort them alphabetically AND by type. As it is its currently imposible to do this simple task. What have you been doing over there in microsoft land? I am sick of doing this over and over and over again

Desktop Shortcut Icons

Hi Mik-Dav,

The desktop shortcut created for a specific website should bear the website's actual logo. With what you've experienced, there could be something wrong with how the shortcut was created.

If you've created the shortcut by selecting Create shortcut, then we suggest that you try the other way, that is by dragging the website icon that appears in the address bar to your desktop. Follow these steps:

• Using Internet Explorer, access a website.
• Once the website opens, you will see its icon in the address bar.
• Click and drag the icon on your desktop.

The website shortcut bearing its actual logo should now be saved on your desktop.

Let us know if you need further help.

Regards.

Desktop Shortcut Icons

I tried using Edge that comes with the computer and I can see the logo you are talking about. When I try to drag it to the desktop you can see that I have it but as soon as I drop it the window opens rather than putting the shortcut icon on the desktop.
