Window xp sp3 desktop icons YalooArmon 10/3/2008 9:07:00 PM For some reason my icons can not be rearranged. I used to move them around, and than align to grid, but now its as if they are locked and will only respond to the auto arrange and the other commands using right click. How do I unlock it so I can arrange them to my specs the way I used to.
