RE: LOCK DESKTOP ICONS IN PLACE

Hi Sandy,

I was having the same problem and frustrated b/c I could not find a solution
that worked. Called Dell and talked to a tech. Anyway, try this as it
worked for me.

1. Arrange your desktop icons the way you want them
2. Right click on desktop and uncheck View Desktop Items
3. Right click on desktop and check View Desktop Items
4. Re-boot

Hope this fixes the problem for you as well.

Thanks,

Rick
