[WEB4LIB] Windows question

[Michael VanHouten]

Hagen -

Thanks very much! I adjusted both "Icon" size and "Icon Spacing (Horizontal)", and found appropriate settings to keep the icon names from truncating.

Thanks!!!

Mike

For any version of Windows running the "new" shell (Win 9x, NT), one of
the desktop properties is "Icon Spacing (Horizontal)." To the right of
that there's a 'size' property. Adjust the value up until you find a
nice setting. The issue is that you get very wide placement of icons if
you set the value high.
