hey frank,

try this:

"Windows 95's AutoArrange command--the one that automatically arranges
your icons on the desktop--is great for neatening things up, but it
does present one drawback: It always puts your icons on the LEFT side
of the desktop. What do you do if you want them on the right side?

This:

1. Minimize all your programs so that only your desktop icons are
visible on the desktop.
2. Right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose Arrange Icons from
the shortcut menu; if AutoArrange is checked, click it to deselect it.
3. Click any desktop icon; then press Ctrl + A to select all your
desktop icons.
4. Drag all the icons to the right side of your screen.
5. Right-click the desktop and choose Line Up Icons from the shortcut
menu."

i recommend just trying step 2. since you don't want icons on the right, i believe simply deselecting 'autoarrange' will fix you up. if you see it's checked, that should indicate your problem, i think.

hope this helps,

:)

mark

Win95 Icon stuff ...

If you had Win98, I'd recommend you install Tweak-UI from the CD and click through the fix icons stuff, but since you're using Win95, you'll need to download this utility from Microsoft. Sorry, I don't have the URL, but perhaps Mark, who's ability to find stuff astounds me, will post it.

Cheers, PW.
