Title: Alignment of desktop icons
Post by: Guzeppi on October 30, 2017, 01:37:43 AM

Can you please let me know how to align my desktop icons so that each tier is parallel to the one above it.

Have tried "Align to Grid", but it doesn't work the way I want, as it throws the icons to one side of the screen and ruins the alphabetical order of the icons, which I want to preserve.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Many thks, Mark, for prompt reply, and I am glad to be able to tell you that your tip solved my problem.

I wonder why my previous attempts with "Align to Grid" would not work to my satisfaction. Computer whims, perhaps?!

Kind regards.
