I have lots of short cuts on a desktop, and the text for the shortcuts
have a lot of characters in them. If the icon is not selected, I only
see a certain amount of characters with "..." at the end. I tried to
decrease the font size, but there were still too many chars, I also
increased the vertical spacing, but that didn't help either. Any
ideas? The main problem is that so many icons have the first 10-15
characters the same so when users go to open them, they have to single
click a bunch of them to see if its the right one. It would be nice if
I could display all the characters or up to a certain amount that is
much more than the default.
Thanks

Hi,

You're going to fiddling with font sizes (which will also affect font
sizes in other windows) and horizontal spacing to change the grid size.
Can I suggest that you create a folder on your desktop to hold your
links? Right-click on the desktop => New => Folder. Give it a name and
maybe a nice icon (right-click => Properties = Customize tab => Change
Icon button.
