re: Drag to Desktop - no ICON appears on desktop Tuesday, February 20, 2007 at 8:28 pm Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by DickM (7 messages posted) Thanks, Bob B -- but -- nope...a Desktop refresh doesn't display the icon. If I select a file and "send to desktop" -- no problem, the shortcut appears. If I drag a file to "Desktop" in the file tree -- no problem, the file is moved to the desktop and is visible. If I do a "control-drag" to Desktop in the file tree, a visible copy appears on the desktop. BUT -- drag the file directly to the desktop OR do a control-drag to create a copy and it appears in the file tree under desktop -- but no icon appears on the desktop! Is there anyone out there with Vista who can replicate this? It's such a simple thing -- I can't believe I'm unique. I also find it hard to believe that this is a bug in Vista -- it's such a simple operation -- but nothing surprises me at this point.
