Super-Duper Sombrero Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v396/CheezMastah/desktoperror.jpg Not posting a image, it would break alot of screens. Why do the icons scoot slightly away from the edges? It's very irritating. It wouldn't do this before, but now it's become very intent on pissing me off. I'm running at 1152 x 864 (one step above 1024 x 768). Changing the refresh rate doesn't seem to do anything. Is it a problem with the icon resolution? Is there a way to change that to fix it?

Moseph Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 In Display Properties under the Appearance tab, click the Advanced button. The dropdown menu there lets you change the size and spacing of shortcut icons. Playing with those might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katsurugi Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I'm not too sure myself, but I know if I auto-align some of my icons or make new icons, they sometimes go in seemingly random areas. I think that what Windows (XP, at least) does is that it tries to find the best place for the new icon with some algorithm it uses for image recognition. I'd right click, go to arrange icons by>align to grid. Then move around the icons as you see fit. If you included your background image, maybe it has to do with your monitor settings. You can probably adjust the position of the monitor with the buttons it has on it. Maybe that would help too. Other than that, I really don't know what to tell you.
