Icon Spacing

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

I have WinXP Professional with resolution 1280x1024. Icon spacing is huge.
Settings through Appearance - Advanced - Icon Spacing doesn't help. Any
number I put don't have effect.

Any solution?

Try right click on desktop, then left click on Arrange Icons By, left click
on Align to Grid.
You may also need to click on Refresh.

You need to reboot for this particular change to take effect.

No you don't.

Not sure why the OP is having this problem but you do not have to
re-boot for the icon spacing changes to take effect.

Technically one doesn't. One needs to reinitialise the window. However you can't reinitialise the desktop. Therefore one must reboot.

Tnx guys for help!
I first rebooted PC and after that icon spacing is exactly as I wanted!
But as Art®" wrote, his instructions are also working so you don't have to
reboot PC to have effect !
Just do what he said and it will work !

Again, tnx to all !
