Locked desktop icons???

On my office Imac the "icons" are suddenly locked on the desktop . .have looking in settings. . can't find a way to release them. They pop back to everything being on the right side

On my home Imac I can move they icons anywhere and they stay where I put them. Help!

I'm new to the forum . hope this kind of question is appropiate and posted in the correct place
Thank You

Moved thread - "Schweb's Lounge" is for off-topic discussion.

Right click the Desktop > Show View Options > Sort By > None. That will allow you to move the icons wherever you please.

Thanks so much Vansmith!!!
I did see, but of course it was after I posted my question! . . "related links" to go to and did find the answer as someone else had the same problem . .
Your answer was clearer as you directed me to being "on the desktop" -right clicking . .the other just said to look under "View options" and I wasn't certain in what application on the menu . .so thanks for clearing that up!!

Is there a way to access those links w/o posting - Is there a place to put the question which will access the links first (w/o posting?) . .So that I could have gotten my answer w/o bothering you?????

Thanks
Susan
