    Windows 10 desktop icon renamed itself


    So I was using microsoft edge, and when I clicked out of the browser, I noticed that somehow the microsoft edge shortcut on the Windows 10 start screen renamed itself to goo. I got a little concerned that maybe it was a virus or something, but I ran malwarebytes and a windows defender scan and no infections showed up. Also, I just installed a fresh new copy of windows from a flash drive about 5 days ago; so how could it be infected. Maybe something happened where when I was typing in google on Microsoft edge, the first 3 letters of google goo accidentally typed and renamed the microsoft edge

    :)

    Windows 10 desktop icons not in order

    In ccleaner, did you uncheck cleaning the icon cache... have not used in a while; however, I think that is what the option is called.

    Now, if you are setting the icons and they move after you have set the settings and not changed them... you may have the "Random Windows 10 Icon movement problem".
    Some people have this and some don't.

    Here is a thread on the problem at Windows10 forums: Windows 10: Folder View Settings and Desktop Icon Positions Not Saving

  3. Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.
