I've noticed some problems with the way Vista handles desktop icons. The
first problem is that for no apparent reason, my desktop icons will
occasionally rearrange messeing up the order I placed them in. It happens on
ALL 3 of my computers running Vista (2 running business edition and 1
running Ultimate). I think simply saving a file to the desktop causes this,
but not 100% sure. It seems to happen every few days.
The second problem is that when you try to select icons using the shift-key
(hold down the shift key + click on the icon(s) above and below), it selects
icons in the NEXT row as well, and it's not supposed to do that. In Windows
XP it worked great. If I wanted to select a group of icons in a single row,
I would just hold down the shift-key, click the first icon, then click on
the last icon in the row, and they would select perfectly. Windows Vista
does not handle this correctly, and it is clearly a bug.
Has anyone else noticed this problem? And does anyone know of a fix, or if
it'll be fixed in Vista SP1???
