Spacing of icons in the list in the Explorer view is too wide!

Hello

Slowly, I began to regret that I've upgraded to Windows 7. While he shook some of the flaws of Vista, he got a bunch of new barriers along.

OK, my problem is the following:

I use a display list of items in folders in Explorer, in the world. However, the icon spacing is almost double what it was in Vista! And no, change the icon spacing in customization etc... Does NOTHING! I put in '20', I used to have on "32" and by default, it is "46" or anything else. But no matter what value I put, it does nothing.

BTW: I don't have Aero.

This is the descriptive screenshot:

I also tried to change the entry from registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Desktop/WindowMetrics, IconSpacing and IconVerticalSpacing - 780, but nothing happened.

Thanks a lot for your help.

  • How can I change the spacing between icons in the taskbar?

    I have a small screen laptop.  Because I want a decent number of programs in my taskbar for easy access, I chose the small icons and no names, etc.  However, the icons of small programs (when not in use) are spaced so far that there is little room to spare.  New programs quickly cause Group and are difficult to manage.

    Why is Microsoft put so much empty space between the small icons unopened?  It's wasted space.

    More important still, how to shrink the space between icons?  On Vista and XP, you could drag the icons to manage your space.  How do I do this with Windows 7?

    Thank you!

    Just after I posted that space is really needed, I found the answer who asked the original question.

    You can change the space between icons (really the size of the buttons) by changing the size of "Buttons" in the window color and appearance. The default on my version of Windows (2008 R2) was 18 years old. When I set it down to the size buttons for the GET pinned icons smaller and thus the icons closer together.

    I don't know if the path is the same in Win7, but in 2008 R2, you right-click on the desktop and select Personalize. Then click on the color button of the window (at the bottom of the window). The dialog box that appears should be titled 'window color and appearance '. In the drop-down list item, select the caption buttons and adjust the size to change the distance between the icons.

    I've only tried a couple of sizes too so setting can cause problems. Once you apply, you will need to right click on the desktop and do a Refresh or even logoff and back on again.

  • Why all the elements pull appears too wide for example back and before the arrows on the browser are oblong do not round?

    Pictures are too wide, too long words and circles are not round but oblong.

    Then you don't have to set correctly for your screen resolution. The picture you describe seems to indicate that your computer is configured for a square screen (or almost) but whether you are viewing on a widescreen monitor. Monitors Electronics is stretch the square image to fit the screen.

    Right-click on an empty part of the screen, then select the screen resolution. The values in the resolution box should be the same as the specification of the screen, but click on the arrow and look for the recommended option.

    The main reason why it does not work if you don't well loaded graphic drivers as this can block the questioning of the screen to set the resolution.

  • Missing icons on the toolbar State system after having killed explorer.exe

    Hello

    I found a possible problem with explorer.exe

    Here's the thing

    I had a lot of apps minimized in the system tray

    I killed explorer.exe from the task (just to avoid end the session) Manager

    When I started explorer.exe once again, these applications on the system tray where gonne.

    I could see their processes from the Task Manager running, but I couldn't get them.

    Someone had this problem? or is this a known problem?

    Just in case, a process has been my modem ZTE connection manager and the other was java (running jdownloader)

    Thank you very much

    PS: My English is not very good so sorry if I mistaked something

    Hello
    This isn't the fault of explorer.exe. The problem you are having is because the application does not know to put its icon in the Explorer system tray.

    Edit...

    ... because he never had the signal that explore was closing (finished it) and the program is not wasting cycles (little) CPU to see if it is in the taskbar. When Explorer restarts, programs can be launched again, but if they were still running, they could not call their function to insert their new icon in the taskbar. You will find that other good programs to behave in fact it automatically.

  • The small icons to the left of Web site names (for example the white boy 'f' in a blue box for Facebook) on my list of bookmarks disappeared for that I now only have the names themselves, making it more difficult to navigate.

    Normally, when I click on the bookmarks at the top of my screen, the list of Web sites that appears contains a small icon to the left of each bookmark. Now I get only a list. No icons. What happened to the little flag four colors for Hotmail, the 'f' in a blue box for facebook and all the rest? It is now much more difficult to navigate.
