    Icon Size,Icon Spacing settings? Please Help me Please


    Wow I've Googled this one to death so desperation mode is on.

    Here is where the settings I'm speaking of are located...

    Control Panel->>Personalization-->>"Widnows Color">>Advanced Appearance Settings>>
    Then select ICON
    then change the setings for Horizontal Icon Spacing and Vertical Icon Spacing.

    There are the default setting I can't find.

    So, what is/are the default Windows 7 settings for the following desktop options.

    1. Icon SIZE (and the "Font" and "Font Size" for it)
    2. Icon Spacing Horizontal
    3. Icon Spacing Vertical

    And if possible, what are the Windows 7 defaults numbers/settings for the entire Control Panel->>Personalization-->>"Widnows Color">>Advanced Appearance Settings>> Section??


    Thanks.

    Let's not forget the right click on the desktop to the pop-up and View, where you can change from Large, Medium, or Classic - along with some other good old calssical settings.
