  1. Windows 10 update added all the desktop icons from my other computer


    I had a nice clean desktop before a windows 10 update. Afterward, it asked me some questions and all of a sudden all the icons from my desktop on my other computer appeared on my updated computer. I can't figure out how to get the old desktop back on my updated computer.

    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. Windows vista x64 computer icon always changing

    what icons are you referring to?
    In the Windows Explorer list or desktop?

    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.
