When moving/saving/etc a new file on the desktop, the icon appears second (just after "Computer"). I find it annoying, since I want my "special" icons to be first (such as the recycle bin, "Network", etc.).
Can this behavior be changed?

Open Explorer (Windows Logo + E) then type "Recycle bin" in the address bar.
That should work just fine, else add Recycle bin to your favorite locations in Exlorer.
Or press the Windows logo and type: explorer.exe ::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} Which you can of course assign a hot-key to any arbitrary keyboard key or key combination.
Maybe its a dumb question by me but: Is this option checked?
Best Answer
No.
Even on Eastern installs of Windows the icons fill the screen top-to-bottom left-to-right.
If you want a specific layout you'll have to reposition them.
