Something is wrong with my grid alignment, please help!

[Rinn]

My nephew was messing around my computer yesterday and when I got i
back, the grid alignment had gone completely insane. The grid seems t
be extra large, causing them to spread apart. This only happens when
choose view as icon and thumbnails, all the others are fine. Here's
screenshot of it:

I have tried everything, I turned the grid lock on and off, aut
arranged it, refreshed it, messed around with the folder options an
nothing seems to fix it. I am convinced the property of the gri
alignment was changed somewhere and I can't seem to figure out how t
get to it. Can anyone help before I re-install windows

Sounds like the icon spacing has been set way high.

Try this:

1. Right Click Desktop + Choose “Propertiesâ€
2. In the Properties Window click on the “Appearance Tab†at the top.
3. In the Appearance Window click on the button called “Advancedâ€.
4. In the Advanced Appearance Window choose “Item:†from the drop down list
and choose “Icon Spacing (Horizontal)†and you can choose desired Icon
spacing. Likewise the same steps can be used to change Vertical spacing.

Mine is set to 43 pixels.
