Desktop Icon Placement

(1/1)

_AP:
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.

Pete:
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

Pete

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.
