  1. WIndows 10 Icons and User Accounts


    I have a Windows 10 PC that I bought not too long ago.

    My problem is I wanted to set my icons in my user profile folder(Documents, Downloads, Pictures, etc..) to look like the Windows 7 equivalent, but I was told that I needed to have the Windows 7 installation disk, mount it, and copy certain files over, and rewrite my desktop.ini to point to the Windows 7 files. Seemed risky, and I abandoned all hope.

    Until today...

    I was helping my mom, and I found out her user account profile folders look like this:

    This is exactly what I want when I'm in details view of the user profile folder. However, I'm unable replicate this on my account. This is what my profile folder looks like:

    I can confirm my mom's account is in details view, and I've checked and matched her folder settings, still nothing. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    :)

  2. W10 taskbar icons too small

    Hi Ian Mosley,

    We appreciate your time and effort to get back to us with the required information.

    As per the screenshot provided, it is clear that the size of the taskbar icons is normal. The taskbar icons will appear exactly the same as they were in the screenshot, if you have set to use the small taskbar icons.

    You may try to create the new user account and check to isolate the issue. This will help to figure out if the user profile is corrupted.
    Follow the below link to create new user account.

    Create a local user account in Windows 10

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-my/windows-10/create-a-local-user-account-in-windows-10

    After creating the new user account, check whether you are able to use the normal and small size taskbar icons. Refer to the suggestions provided by the Guru Kiran G in the above posts for changing the size of the taskbar icons.

    I hope the above information helps. Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

    Thank you.

  3. Desktop icons have started jumping around in Windows 10

    That's weird. It should not do that. I tried it myself and noticed that icons occupy a certain space and if you drag another icon to that space, even if it's only at the edge, it will bump the icon to the next spot (but never to another place).

    Try creating a new user account on your computer and see if you will experience this problem->

    The view in File Explorer your mom has is what mine is on a Default installation of Win10 in the C:\Users\MYNAMEHERE Folder.

    Mine looks like yours but the icons don't bother me one bit.

    Her icons look like the ones under This PC, at least the ones that are also in User folder

    "I'm able to confirm that the icons are the same as the screenshot I posted in both Quick view and This PC view in details view "
    My screenshot is in thumbnail display (icon in lower r corner of explorer window)

    I can reproduce her icons in Medium icons or Tiles view, again, in thumbnail display. Like this

  9. I can do that too in titles/medium view, just can't in Details view like my mom's account. Seems strange.

  10. I figured it out.

    My mom's account has a different display size. On her account the size is 125%, on my it's 100%. I tested it out and was able to reproduce the result.
