Yet again, I have typed up another long entry in Joomla just to have it all disappear because Joomla (and it’s Editor components) suck at handling sessions. I won’t get into that here, but I do want to get a piece of information across that isn’t widely available on the internet. I messed with my Icon Size and Spacing (horizontal and vertical) in Windows XP and I couldn’t find the original settings to change it back to. I pulled it up on another one of my computers and figured I would post it on the internet for all to see.
Icon Spacing (vertical): 43
Icon Spacing (horizontal): 43
A quick side-note that I made on my original post was the fact that windows will only display icons up to 72px and the built-in windows icons usually only scale "gracefully" up to about 48px. In contrast, Mac OS X will display icons up to 128px and every icon I have ever seen on a Mac will fully scale to that with no problem. To read more about this, see the icon topic at XvsXP.

Thanks for the reply, Bob. Glad to hear my post was helpful to you. I didn’t put it in the above blog post, so I should also note that the default icon size in Windows XP is 32×32 pixels.

[b]I needed the default because i nstalled Stardock’s Windows Blinds. After you uninstalled it, it doesn’t return to the default. Thanks! ;-)[/b]
