    Explorer Icon View - How to distance icons, more text?


    The major problem with Windows Seven:

    In Explorer the icons are too close together. Setting the icon spacing apart only changes the behavior on the desktop.

    I HATE THIS.

    The icons are too close together and the text barely has any room! I want my icons medium sized but I need more room!

    Please tell me there is a fix for this garbage behavior!

    Welcome!
    Your question is a common one. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be a solution at this time. You can always try holding Ctrl and scrolling with the mouse wheel. See if you can satisfy yourself with different icon sizes.

    Medium Icons - I like the size because it is like XP but with medium icons but the spacing between the icons is way too small.
