Somehow I "locked" my desktop items into place

[DJ-phYre]

I need to move them, and it won't let me. The only way to move them is with "Arrange Icons"

I have looked everywhere, I thought it was an option in TweakUI.

I know I am just overlooking the option, but does anyone know where it is? I am very frustrated!

Arrange Items -> Lock

Arrange Items -> Lock

That is not it... it is unchecked

This is probably stating the obvious, but I just wanted to make sure that Auto Arrange is turned off, and even Align to Grid if you want complete freedom.

I unchecked it all, but still can't move them... it is beginning to really annoy me. I think I have checked something in a tweak program somewhere, I just can't find it anywhere!

I just discoverd, I can't drag and drop anything from explorer, start menu, or anywhere else. I don't know what the hell is going on

Format, reinstall.

over an icon problem?!?!? what a terrible solution. you don't learn anything by doing that.

now...

do you have any other user accounts you can login to to see if they behave similarly?

Yup.. I think ^you^ got a point there.... I personaly use tweakui and disable all that active desktop just after a fresh install...

 

[DJ-phYre]

Active desktop is off...

 

[DJ-phYre]

It was active desktop, although I must have overlooked that, because I knew there was a "Lock Desktop Items" - DOH!


Thanks!
