Can't move shortcuts on desktop...
After I install an application and it creates a shortcut on the desktop, I can't move the shortcut to another position. When I try to move it, I get a small slashed circle. What's up with that?

I am just left click with my mouse and drag it to a new location like I always have done for many years.
Sorry I don't know how to fix your problem.
You can do this registry edit by copying the text underneath and copying into a notepad and then saving as a .reg file you will then be able to move to, once you save as a .reg file just double click it.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}]

Right click the desktop, select View uncheck Auto Arrange. This what you mean ?
Oh, also Align icons to grid, uncheck may help too.
No, those two options won't work. I do use Stardock Fences for years. I uninstalled it and now I can move shortcuts like I always have done. I think it's a Windows 10 thing, as With Windows 8.1 and 7 even with Fences, I could still move the shortcuts. I wonder if there is another option like fences that Windows 10 would like.
Well never mentioned you had this software, says it's compatible with Windows 10, but who knows till try.
Sure have updated to newest version ? http://www.stardock.com/products/fences/
