Windows 7 Labels UNDERr icons in Small Icons View

How to Move Icon Labels Under Small Icons in Windows:​

1. Open Registry Editor:
   • Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
   • Type regedit and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor.
   []Navigate to the Desktop Icon Settings:
   • Go to the following registry key:
     Code:

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

   []Change the Icon Vertical Spacing:
   • Look for a DWORD value named IconSpacing.
   • If it's not there, you can create it:
     • Right-click on an empty space in the right pane.
     • Select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value and name it IconSpacing.
     []Double-click IconSpacing and set the value data according to your preference.
     • The default value is 1560. You can try setting it to 1300 or any value that suits your need. Lower values mean closer icons.
   []Restart Explorer:
   • After changing the value, you need to restart the Explorer process for the changes to take effect. You can do this by:
     • Pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
     • In the Processes tab, find Windows Explorer.
     • Right-click on it and select Restart. This tweak should adjust the spacing between icons to allow labels to appear under the icons in a tighter layout. Remember to back up your registry before making any changes for safety. If you prefer a user-friendly tool for this purpose, there might be third-party software available that can tweak icon settings in Windows, but they may not be as specific as directly modifying the registry. Feel free to give this tweak a try and let me know if you need further assistance!
