    why doesn't w10 wanna keep my desktop folders icon where i want to set


    hi
    i create a folder (utility )on my desktop with some utility inside (programs , mostly portable )

    i drag the icon of the folder (called utility )on the right up corner of the monitor

    right now i have the recylce bin on the left up corner and my folder(called utility) on the right up corner

    i have only 2 icons

    well if i right click on the desktop i have this option
    display medium icon
    auto arrange icons OFF
    allign icon to grin ON
    show desktop icons ON

    sort no selected

    now if i reboot or log off i found the folder (called utility) under the recylce bin icon *Sad

    this happen today , in the days after windows 10 always kept my folder (utility) in the right poisition of the screen

    what's wrong?
    thanks

    :)

  2. Photo App displaying deleted folder pictures on Windows 10.

    Original Title: Photo App

    I keep my family photos on OneDrive and my work photos and wallpaper folders on my desktop

    No matter how many times I delete the desktop photos folder from the photo app everytime I open it, back comes the Desktop photo folder and the wallpapers and my work photos. This is true even if you select the individual Onedrive folders you want to include.
    Doesn't matter everytime you open the app back come all the folders

    Haven been given the option of deciding which folders to include (great) why doesn't it work?

  3. Desktop icons for folders - how to delete without deleting folder

    Your folders exist on the desktop itself. If you wish to get rid of the icons without deleting the folders then you must hide them. This would make it hard to find the folders . . .

    Why don't you simply move the folders to a different location?

    why doesn't w10 wanna keep my desktop folders icon where i want to set

    Hi, there are already a couple of long threads on this topic. There appears to be no solution apart from restoring a working situation. This problem has occurred in previous versions of Windows and is widely reported.

    It might occur because of sthg you have installed. You will probably find that the explorer folder view settings don't stay set the same either.

    Please see the threads and search e.g. 'Desktop icons keep moving\rearranging' etc.

    Some people have suggested it happened after an update, some that it's related to using a particular AV, one itunes.... there are several 'fixes' that have been suggested including by 'AskVG' - well known site. But these fixes don't solve all situations.I

    Hopefully you have a disk image or enabled system restore...
