688911 2008-07-14 22:03:00 I recently trialled Ashampoo Win Optimizer 5 and played around with a few interesting settings with their tweaking options, specifically around icons.
Now my desktop icon spacing is way different, and I have like a whole "icon" gap between each icon.
See i331.photobucket.com

Can anyone help me fix this?
Thank you

Click Advanced, then in the first dropdown menu select Icon Spacing (Horizontal). Set the "Size" value to 43. Do the same with Icon spacing (Vertical).

I tried that, but it still stays the same.....
I'll try reinstalling the program and adjusting settings..

688914 2008-07-15 09:33:00 Tried installing Ashampoo WinOptimizer 5 again and resetting all settings and rebuilding original settings.
Nothing has worked..there is still a huge gap between icons like in my previous screenshot.
Any ideas anyone?

688915 2008-07-15 11:03:00 Try uninstalling it altogether - along with any other 3rd party desktop customisation s/w you have (if any).

These will most likely override any settings you have put in though control Panel.
