Hello Lisa,

Clicking the right mouse button on an empty spot on the desktop really is 
the easiest way to go.  I would try moving your mouse to the right and 
then try right clicking.  Unless you have a huge number of desktop icons, 
they are usually all on the left side of the screen.  If you are on a 
blank spot on the desktop, the first menu item you will hear is Arrange 
Icons by ...  which has a drop down menu with choices.  If your first 
click doesn't work, try moving the mouse to the right and up.  Good luck.

Regards,
Sherry Wells

[VICUG-L] another question about the desktop






Hi all,
 
I wanted to thank everyone for their replies to my message about deleting 
desktop icons.  I now want to know if anyone could tell me how to line up 
the desktop icons.  I have windoes xp and I tried to find out the answer 
to this question on the internet.  The only thing I could find so far is 
something about the process being a little different in windows xp.  It 
said you needed to go to a blank spot on the desktop and click the right 
mouse and it would give you an option about arranging the icons.  I don't 
know how to get to a blank spot.  If you just right click on one of the 
icons it just gives options like creating a shortcut, deleting it, and so 
forth.  If anyone can tell me if they know any other way to arrange them I 
would really appreciate it.  Thank you. 
 
Lisa
