    A new Windows Experience

    I thought this was weird.

    I have a file that I paste copies of bills I pay online to. You know, keep a digital record of what I pay.

    I never paid a lot of attention, but suddenly, I noticed the file changing physical locations on my desktop. I thought this so weird, I cleared out a place right at corner of desktop to set it, so I know this is where it is, then I open attach something and save, and next thing you know, the file is placed in another location, I guess at the logical first opening for an icon maybe. I don't recall this ever happening before with any files.

    It's a Word document. Anybody else noticed an anomoly like this?

    Weird.

    I don't reboot to often, so I'll see if it changes behavior after a reboot, is all I know, I move it, it moves it back, I move it, it moves it back. damnit!

    Right click your desktop, select View, and uncheck Auto Arrange. That should fix it.

      I don't think I have auto arrange on, I never do usually... checked it, not active.

      That's where it block locates your icons, right?

        Yeah, the auto arrange helps snap the icons all along the side.

        Not sure why your icon is moving around. Maybe the Align Icons to Grid?
