Icon Desktop Spacing

[John]

The Icons on my Desktop that are arranged across the top of my computer screen are fairly tight together as I like them. However, the Icons I have arranged running vertically on my screen are too widely spaced. When I try to drag them closer they cover up part of the Icon I am dragging it next to. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can change space requirements between them, in order to align them near each other?

Thanks
