Icons take up too much space on screen.
I've got several insrtallations of Windows XP on my machine. In one of the
installations the icons take up too much space on the screen. The problem
seems to be that the lables are placed to to the right of thr icons instead
of underneath them.

I've reinstalled Windows XP several times. No luck.

Please help!

RE: Icons take up too much space on screen.
If you right click on the desktop and go to Properties and then Settings,
Increasing the screen resolution will make your icons smaller. I have no
idea why the label appears at the side of the icon, I'm afraid

Re: Icons take up too much space on screen.
Screen resolution is the same everywhere. I found the problem. I had the
view setting set to "tiles" rather than "icons". Problem solved!
