Speaking of Win7 (glad the list isn't dead btw!), anyone know how you can
make the icon size and spacing smaller on your desktop like you could in
WinXP?
I just installed Win7 Ent on an IBM T61 and I already right-clicked on the
desktop, selected View, Small Icons and they're still way too big, and the
spacing b/w them is huge...I also made the taskbar icons smaller too, but
that's not what I ultimately want.
So in WinXP you could right-click on the Desktop, select the Appearance tab,
Advanced, and then select Icon and Icon Spacing (Horizontal or Vertical)
from the drop-down menu, and make the icons smaller and drastically reduce
the space b/w them, which was very nice. On my 1400x1050 15" laptop screen,
I currently have 17 icons vertical and 24 across (and most of the spaces
taken up with icons-usually favorites but sometimes docs, etc).
Is there anything like that for Win7 as googling it just got the WinXP
instructions, which AFAIK don't apply to Win7...

Not a lot of activity recently (on the list). I suppose I can do one
inquiry here. I am running Win7 x64 and one of the pending (I've kept
it pending) updates is KB971033, which is a patch that, for my
protection, will search my computer to find out if there are any
cracks/patches/loaders for Win7 that indicate that I have a pirate copy
of windows. Know Microsoft's track record on this, I hesitate to
install it, just waiting for all the false positives top pop out.
What's the word on how this patch is doing?
