Question

How can I disable the snap to grid feature?

I'm trying to arrange my desktop but can't find the option to kill the snap to grid crap. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Bill

1) Right click anywhere on the desktop itself (not on an item)
2) In the contextual menu, select "show view options."
3) At the middle/bottom of that window, there's a pull down entitled "arrange by."
4) Select "None."

You should be able to make your desktop as random as you like now 🙂
