How to move Leopard screen icons?

[awsariti]

I just upgraded to Leopard but for some reason I cannot "drag" and move the icons around the screen like I did with Tiger. When I drag an icon, a folder for example, it "snaps back" to its original position.

What is going on? Any ideas?

1. click desktop
2. hit command+J
3. in the "arrange by" field, change it to something other than "snap to grid"

It's the View Options for the Finder.

Go to the "View" menu, and choose "Show View Options". At the bottom of the window that opens, it'll say "Arrange by" and an option on how to organize the icons on your Desktop. Select "none" and you'll have the freedom to put them wherever you'd like.

Thanks!

Yep, that did it. Had opened that up and fooled with it...but did not hit "none."
