Does anyone know how to format or reset the size of the
invisble grid used by the desktop to align icons. Mine
has been reset to a huge size by some software, which
means the icons are now aligned down the centre of the
screen.

Thanks,
Andrew
 
Alex,
On a related point...
The icons on My Documents do not snap to the grid. My 3 other PCs (XPh)
do it just fine. I can't find the setting to fix this. Can you help,
please?
Thanks... Bruce

At Display - Appearance, click Advanced, select 'Vertical (and
horizontal) Icon spacing. It is the space between icons so the grid
pitch is these values plus icon size. Leave enough room between for the
labels
