Bottom Row of Icons ALWAYS move up when the workstation is locked........WHY ??

Hey All,

Can't find anything about this anywhere on the www, but basically on my XP machine, the bottom row of icons on my desktop, after the workstation had been locked, thay all move up one row (aligned to grid) and its REALLY starting to get a little annoying now !!!

 

What alignment option do you have set and is your taskbar locked or unlocked?

 

As far as I know, when u right click on the desktop and select; "arrange icons by" and then select "aligned to grid" (that is now ticked and the taskbar is locked also !!

Do you have an idea what could be causing it ??

Cheers !!

 

Sorry - I really don't. So other than some generalized suggestions, I can't offer you a fix.

Things I'd try (fast, easy enough, can't hurt, might help) would be to unlock and

- move the task bar to the side or top, shutdown and restart and move it back to the bottom. Then if not fixed, try making it taller and then back to normal.
- make sure you have the latest video drivers and then reload video.

 

Tryed everything mate !! Nothing works !

I dont suppose theres somewhere on the ol' www is there where one can post windows faults directly to Ol' Gatesy himself aka Microsoft ??

Cheers

Scott
