Windows 7 Maximum count of characters for name of the icon

[Rotar]

So what I need to do, where change in regedit MAXIMUM COUNT OF CHARACTERS FOR NAME OF THE ICON?

I want that, icons in Win 7 in folders would be shown exactly in THE SAME WAY like they are in Win XP in Icons View.

Namely if I set in Win 7 Small Icons i got a list, Medium Icons are too big, so the only solution to have icons shown similar to XP is to set view between Small Icons and Medium Icons. And this looks like that:

I supposedly can leave them in those view BUT Win 7 maximum count of characters for name of the icon is a looot bigger then in XP, and this cause folders to look ugly and also viewing such folder is very uncomfortable. In XP maximum count of characters for name of the icon is set for 9 characters plus '...'

but it is 'activated' only when you exceeded 11 characters

In Win 7 on the other hand maximum count of characters for name of the icon is 42 characters plus '...' (SIC!!!!!!!)

but it is not 'activated' until you exceeded 44 characters

What I need to do to have the same restrictions as in Windows XP?

The general consensus would seem to be if you require all you have mentioned . You should have stayed with win XP
Have a nice day and good luck with your quest
For it is not available in Windows 7 .

Its just a simple thing that nobody seems to be getting, so lets use pictures!!!

He just wants it to do the thing that the right icon does.

Well I knew that was what he wanted but in windows 7 it is not available . Unless you have a fix ? It is available in windows XP So if it is so important stay with windows xp unless you have a way around the problem ?

It seemed like reghakr and radennight were confused still and they are much more knowledgeable then me. So I was clarifying completely in order to help find a solution.

Dont think you will find they are confused in the least . Its just not available . They made that perfectly clear . This thread is going nowhere so I am de-camping for other pastures

Agreed, the thread will be closed unless the OP has another question he would like to add..

The thread is now closed due to the fact that the OP's question was indeed answered and the thread has gone way off topic..
