When I try to move a desktop icon, by drag ,it moves just one space up
and moves all the rest on space.
I used to be able to move them where I wanted but alas I must have
done something wrong.
Can I remidy this?
Also.
Can I reduce them in size, they have become quite large.
(Hope this is the right group for this question)
Peter.
