Y'know how XP's icons are aligned to a grid, is there a setting for that in Windows 2000?

Is there a program you can get that does it?

Cheers,
Hamstar

When you move the icons in this manner, they "snap" into a grid pattern of between 24 and 32 pixels.

Is that what you want?

It is possible to adjust the grid size in pixels too, but I'll have to look-up how to do that again as it is a while since I tried it.
