Need help with managing icons and icon text!
As you can see on the picture, my desktop icons are totally misplaced with huge space between them, and the icon text is not starting on a new line, but just keep going as a long line. Anyone know what i can do to reset these settings back to normal

Right-click an empty area of your Desktop
Scroll down to Properties
Appearance Tab
Advanced
There's a small drop-down-menu button
Scroll down to Icon-spacing... there's horizontal and vertical-- yours is probably very large numbers-- drop them wayyy down to like 50 each

Thanks boss-- strange issue though -- I've never seen Icons that far apart before...I wonder what caused it in the first place. Windows still surprises me sometimes
