Hello Kirby and Mike Well ...... - although I agree you cannot technically arrange the Desktop in list view you can get the same effect fairly easily.
Simply press windows key and E to open Explorer. Press Home to go to Desktop in Tree View Press Tab once to go into folder pane and you will be able to navigate the Desktop like any folder in list view. This works fine but another approach is to set a shortcut to a list view Desktop on the actual Desktop. Again press Windows and E to open Explorer. Press Home to go to Desktop Press Control and C to Copy Press Windows plus D to move to the Desktop Press Application Key Navigate to Paste Shortcut You will now have a shortcut to the Desktop on the Desktop which will open the Desktop in List view. So om my computer to access the Desktop in list view I press windows plus D, then D again and pressing Enter opens the Desktop in list view. I find this much easier to navigate and edit than the actual Desktop. If you have other Desktop items beginning with D you might have to cycle through these or you can rename the Desktop shortcut to something else to get a different letter to start. You will of course have to have your Explorer windows set to list view for this to work. I think it has been already explained how to do this but let me know if you need help Kirby.

With the desktop you may only have icons representing the items arranged in columns.
