Somehow I "locked" my desktop items into place

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! :mad:
 
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

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?
 
active desktop...
i think thas what did it for me once..turned on n it locked all the desktop icons..
off n they all free again
 
Yup.. I think ^you^ got a point there.... I personaly use tweakui and disable all that active desktop just after a fresh install... :)
 
It was active desktop, although I must have overlooked that, because I knew there was a "Lock Desktop Items" - DOH!


Thanks!

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
