Who doesn't like icons? Well, if you're using Windows 9x, you pretty much have to get used to them. Unless, of course, you're still using those 'great' 16-bit apps. To shrink the pixel spacing between your icons (which maximizes the space they take up in Explorer), pull up the Display Properties (right-click on your Desktop and choose Properties), select the Appearance tab, under the Item drop-down list, select "Icon Spacing (Horizontal)" and then "Icon Spacing (Vertical)". I have found that setting both of these numbers to 32 works well. Of course, you can play around with these settings and choose whichever ones you like most. Remember to write the "original" numbers down just in case you want to restore the settings.
