Hi,

I formatted my pc today and I'm stuck on my desktop icon placement. They are lined up along the left side of my screen.

I have the "Auto Arrange of the icons on my desktop" checked, and that usually does it, but I can't arrange them this time. Everytime I move one, it goes right back to the left side of my screen.

Does anyone have any ideas on this one?

From my original post:

It still lines them up on the left side of the screen.
