Roxio Burn Icon Appears Close to Middle of Screen

[ktpardue]

Hi --I have a 23" widescreen monitor. The default position of the Roxio desktop icon is close to the middle of my screen, which is very annoying. I am tired of moving the icon to the edge of the screen every time I boot up my computer. Is there a way to re-position the icon to a new default location on the desktop? If it is a registry hack, I can do that. Just let me know how to do it.

You never mentioned what operating system your using?

 

Because of that it might be a bit different.

 

Right click a empty spot on your desk top, W-7 it's view, then play with arrange icons or allign icons to grid...

 

The othe OS's, XP and Vista should ne similar...

REMOVE the "Align to Grid" check mark from the steps cd suggested. Then you can move any Icon anywhere on the desk top you like.

Hi all,

Thanks! I am running Vista. In response to both replies, I removed the "align to grid", re-positioned the icon to where I wanted it, and rebooted the computer. The icon is back in the center of my screen. The way it behaves makes me think this is determined by the program. I really think this needs a registry hack...

This is controlled by your OS and nothing else!

 

Put it where you want it and turn off 'Auto arrange icons'.

Thanks Jim !! I forgot to add that item to be unchecked as well. Should definitely work for him now

Yes, I understand that. I followed the instructions from both replies to my post. Nevertheless, this is what I get:

 

I see that the icon in your screenshot are the program shortcuts. I am referring to the drag and drop icon as you see. I apologize for not making that clearer. So, given this new info, do you have other possible solutions?

You betcha! Drive a wooden stake through its' heart!!!

 

Start – msconfig – Startup tab – clear that checkmark!

 

 

It is a self-important program that nobody really needs. (of course there are 2 users out there that think it is indespensable... You two turn your head )

​Works on Windows 10 Pro x64 v1703 build 15063

 

I've lived with the Roxio Burn App icon (Is that what it is called?) appearing to close to the right edge for almost 7 years. I have been working for weeks to change my old laptop, a Studio 1558, from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro using a clean install. I was determined to find a fix for the Roxio Burn App position problem. The fix posted by banderadq works in Windows 10 Pro x64 1703.

Thank you for the feedback, Rick.

 

You didn't mention which version of Creator you are running in Windows 10.

It would be interesting to know that, and if it is an old version, to hear how your Creator is running in Windows 10.
