Thanks..

Hi W.,

Right click on the desktop and select properties.
On the Display Properties select the Appearance tab then on the
Advanced.
Under Item pick Icon Spacing (Horizontal and Vertical) and adjust to
your liking.

Fixed problem. Icon spacing does not happen automatically. You need to
"auot arrange" or unclick and click "align to grid."

Fixed problem. Icon spacing does not happe
automatically. You need to "auot arrange
or unclick and click "align to grid."

Or restart the computer, after which the icons will be in the new
positions.
