Windows 10: Windows 10 installations bumping Desktop shortcuts down, rather than adding from the end

Not really sure how to explain this, or if it's established already, or what, but as a newbie to Win 10 I've found that most (but not all, oddly!) of the time, when I install games or programs, the Desktop shortcut icon for each will bump DOWN all the other icons I have in place ('This PC', etc). In the past those new icons would be added at the END of all the rows (or in blank spaces); can anybody help me out on this, or if it's even normal behavior? Seems odd to me it'd do this.

Windows 10 commands/shortcuts/env. var.

Keyboard shortcuts to open programs:

Create a shortcut on the desktop to whatever program you want. Right click -> Properties and fill in the field there. Sadly the shortcut needs to remain on the desktop, but you can hide it.

Fun fact: If you had keyboard shortcuts for programs pinned to your Windows 7 start menu, those shortcuts still work when you update to Windows 10.

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.
