Widgets and Shortcuts Continually Disappear from Home Screen

[Android Central Question]

I cannot tolerate the annoyance of a lock screen and the required motion or PIN entry. My problem is that without a lock screen I am continually wiping widgets, shortcuts and folders off of my home screen and having to retrieve them. Is there any way to lock them in place on my home screen, or any screen for that matter?

Welcome to the forums. What device do you have? You can try a custom launcher, like Nova, that includes a feature to lock your desktop/home screens.
