Windows 7 Not enough padding!

[Syex]

I do like W7 but there are one or two annoyances, one particular annoyance is that there isn't enough padding or empty space around files in a folder when you want to select them, (when you have large icons selected that is!) XP was ok for that, it didn't matter what size icons one had... Not a big deal really I suppose, however, maybe something to think about for W8. Has anyone else noticed that? Hope so, it'll make me feel better about this almost pointless post!

Yeah, now that you mention it... never really spent too much time over it. And only really noticed if trying to highlight a group of photos & just worked around it...Never thought of it as an 'OS Issue'.

My suggestion... mention it here Windows Developer Preview: General OS questions Forum

Once Microsoft asks me & others, to start testing the Win8 Beta, I may remember to mention this to the Build Team via Connect.

I'm with you Syex. Trying to click on the folder window when using large icons is nigh on impossible/ a pain in the butt.

One of the better "pointless posts"!!!

Cheers Elmer. Was thinking about this again recently. Is there a registry hack that could fix this perhaps?
