Desktop icon bug
I found a bug...maybe it's already been reported.With auto arrange turned off, place some test icons on the desktop that you don't mind deleting.Then, create a new folder on the desktop after all the other icons.There are three things to do:1) Drag an icon into the folder - no bug.2) Shift-Drag an icon into the folder - no bug.3) Ctrl-Drag an icon into the folder - Ahah! The icon does indeed copy into the new folder but it also moves to where the folderused to beand the folder itself moves down to the next position on the desktop.T.R.

Hi, Get it. I have found that this is already reported. It will be fixed in later Windows 7 versions. Thanks for your test and sharing.Arthur Xie - MSFT

I am having a problem with downloading files, saving them to desktop and then they simply don't appear unless I F5 the desktop? (Classic mode) - what's going on?

Another small irritation I've found with desktop icons lately is when youremove software you don't want anymore. The uninstall proccess fails to remove the icon from the desktop as in past versions of Windows. Manually trying todelete the icon gets you a warning that basically says that "The file path is missing: Access Denied". The icon will eventually disappear after two or three reboots but it's stilla minor aggravation none the less. Of course the workaround at the moment is to just delete the icon before starting the uninstall. Hope this is fixed in the RC.DennyP.S. Feedback has been sent.
