File name hiding

Can anybody tell me how I might stop Windows from hiding file names like this? It's really irritating.

Sorry, I was editing. Is that enough^? (highlighted in green isn't hidden)..

What types of filenames is it hiding...give some examples

Lol, look at the two icons above the selected one.

The text is truncated.

I'll leave this one to you Zidane.

Ohhhh I was under the impression you were talking about something else...

Anyways right click on the desktop->Personalize->Window Color->Advanced Apperance Options->Change Values for Icon Spacing (Horizontal/Vertical) until you get it where you want it

In XP you had to logoff / logon after this change. Is that still the case?

No no, I mean I have to actually move the mouse over files with longer names in order for their names to be displayed in full. It's nothing to do with the icon spacing.

It has everything to do with icon spacing. Your current config doesn't allow enough space for the text to present. Try Z's suggestion. If he is wrong, change it back and report. He is not wrong.
