Desktop Icon Placement
« on: January 04, 2025, 04:36:48 am »
Hi.  I am unable to get OS/2 to remember desktop icon placement.  Whether I set layout as gridded or as placed, and whatever I do in sort.

After a reboot, icons seem to be placed randomly.  Whats the best way to resolve this?  I'm having similar issues with folder view settings.

Hi

Sometimes these sorts of issues are resolved by running checkini from WPTools - http://hobbesarchive.com/Home/Download?path=/Hobbes/pub/os2/util/config/WPTools_3-3.zip - followed by running cleanini - http://www.ca-arnold.de/download/cleanini55.zip

Do read instructions *before* using the above tools.


Regards

There are two other things you might try.

1.   If you backed up you desktop, try restoring the last working backup.

2.  There is a tool that is used for icon creep.  It may work for your problem also.  I attached the utility.
