Windows 7 Win 7 and 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?

To adjust the maximum count of characters for the name of an icon in Windows 7 to mimic the behavior in Windows XP, where the limit is 9 characters plus '...' (activated upon exceeding 11 characters), you can make changes in the Windows Registry Editor (regedit). Here's how you can modify the settings in the Registry Editor to limit the number of characters displayed for icon names:

1. Open Registry Editor:
   • Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
   • Type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
   []Navigate to the Registry Key:
   • Go to the following location in the Registry Editor:

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

   []Create a New DWORD Value:
   • Right-click on the right pane, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
   • Name the new DWORD value as IconTitleWrapLength.
   []Set the Value Data:
   • Double-click on IconTitleWrapLength and set its value data to the desired character limit. For example, to mimic Windows XP's behavior, you can set it to 11.
   []Restart Explorer:
   • After setting the value, you may need to restart the Windows Explorer for the changes to take effect.
     • Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
     • In the Processes tab, find Windows Explorer.
     • Right-click on Windows Explorer and select Restart. After following these steps, the maximum count of characters for the name of icons should be limited to the specified value, similar to how it behaves in Windows XP. This should help in making the icons appear more organized and easier to view in Windows 7.
