    Windows 11 Desktop Icon Spacing


    An update for Win. 11 was recently applied to my laptop and shortly after I noticed that the icon on my Windows desktop were arranged with large spacing between each icon. I tried to arrange them properly manually without success. I also tried to re-arrange them properly by changing the value for icon spacing and icon vertical spacing in regedit without success. Aside from 3rd party software intervention, is there any other fix for this annoying problem?Your assistance and insight in this regard is very much appreciated.Thank you,MS

    :)

  2. Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.
