it's possible to change the min size of items in icon view (which currently is 74 pixels), it however involves editing a dll using ResHacker or similar. It's the same dll file and resource as this, except the entry to change is
minimumicontextwidth="74rp"
(there's only one instance of it in the file, so can't be missed)
increasing that value will make each item wider, thus fitting more text. Note that the minimum size applies to all icon sizes above Small.
Export the following key before making any changes,

y you can do it in the registry,.
Under each = raise the value.
Ther;s a truck however, you must taje all uot icons and move the far aoart so they are hoy ob the grid nest to eascj oyerhm
How nice of them to still leave some registry keys in there :). Not that I use anything but list view, but just for future reference, what's the key?
"IconSpacing"="-525"
"IconVerticalSpacing"="-525
Raising the number gives you more space between the icons,.
As I stated, export this key id anything goes wting or if you don't like the results.
Ah but those only affect icons on the desktop right? from what I understand what the OP is asking about, is icons in folder/explorer windows.
