Changing location of DESKTOP Icons between multiple displays [Solution]

I have an answer. I have 2 displays- one is on the laptop; the 2nd display is HDMI external. The internal is 17" diag; the external is 24" diag. When I choose LARGE ICONS by right clicking on DESKTOP and choosing VIEW on the pop up, the ICONS only appear on large external display. IF I chose Medium ICONS, they now appear on the smaller internal laptop monitor. I could not find this solution on any of the dozen posts on the internet. Apparently, Windows 11 detects that all the large icons on my Desktop would not fit within the Desktop window on the smaller display and would not display them there. No other DISPLAY settings would put the icons on the smaller display unless I chose smaller icons. Clever -- but not clearly explained anywhere I could find under the heading "moving desktop between multiple displays". After all, the most significant and useful stuff on the DESKTOP ARE the icons that get you to access productive applications and services. From Bill your persistent and friendly geek.
