Can someone advise me please how to unlock the icons in a folder in Win 7 so they can be moved around instead of being locked to a grid all the time? This was the default option in XP but I can't find out how to do it in Win 7.

Your advice would be appreciated.

Kind Regards

Chris

hi,pretty sure i read somewhere some time back that it cant be changed ,Microsoft decided we all need to be neat and tidy i guess .

Thank you for your reply Caperjack. I did find a solution here:

I can't think why this option was not made default in Windows 7 from the beginning.

Kind Regards

Chris
