Moving icons

Moving icons

You can move an icon in the following ways:

drag it
move it one pixel at a time	Select the icon, then press Control-Shift while using the arrow keys. If the status bar is displayed, you will see the icon's coordinates there. Note If Control doesn't work on your browser, try Alt or Command.
specify its horizontal and vertical position	Open the icon's object properties, then update the "Horizontal" and "Vertical" position fields.

Locking icon positions

To lock icons in position so that they can't be moved, select "Lock positions" in the pane's view properties.

To lock an individual icon's position, select its object property "Icon positions locked".

If you can't move an icon

If you can't move an icon, check whether:

• your administrator has given you permission to move objects

• the icon is protected (only prevents you from moving the icon to a different container)

• the view property "Lock positions" is selected for the pane

• the object property "Icon position locked" is selected for the icon.
