Icon spacing on desktop with small icons?
I've set all my icons to small, but they're spaced so far that it still takes up too much real estate on my desktop. I've tried editing registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics = Iconspacing -500 but it didn't change anything.- BuckyDK
