Where did all my desktop icons go?

Postby b0cean » 21.03.2012 03:43:25

I'm using the latest version of Dexpot on Win 7 HP 64 bit.

All of a sudden, my desktop icons are gone from every desktop. I did not "hide icons" nor is that box checked in Configure Desktops. I got my icons back on Desktop 1 by doing something. And then they were all on the right side of the screen. I still cannot get my desktop icons to show up on the other desktops like they used to. Again, none of the boxes are checked to hide icons in Configure Desktops. Rebooting did nothing to resolve this. What's going on?

:dex:

Are you trying to get different icons on each desktop? If so, I would recommend upgrading to Dexpot 1.6 Beta. If not, go to "Dexpot Settings > Switching Desktops > Desktop elements" and make sure "Customize desktop icons" is disabled. Then right-click on the desktop and select "View > Auto arrange icons" to get your icons back.
