[Resolved] Another small desktop problem

Ryan · 03-04-2006

Ok, I can't remember what program done this, I think it might of been TweakXP or something. Anyway, it made my desktop icons space out, and its taking up more room, so I'm eventually gonna run out of space for the icons.

This is what I mean.

Hi Ryan, have you tried doing a System Restore?

Ryan · 03-04-2006

My restore points only stretch back to the 7th February. The desktop problem happen around the middle of January.

Perhaps you could try to set you XP Theme again, it's under Properties on your desktop.
