Adjust the space between desktop icons

To do this, you will need to modify the registry, which may cause errors. It is recommended that you back up important data in advance and only proceed under professional supervision.

  1. Press the Win and R keys to display the Run window. Enter regedit and then click OK to open Registry Editor.

  1. Expand the following path:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics

The IconSpacing on the right determines the spacing of icons placed side-by-side. The spacing equals the data value divided by "-15". For example, if the value data is "-1125", then the icon spacing is 75 pixels.

To change the icon spacing to 100 pixels, double-click IconSpacing and set Value data to -1500. Then, click OK.

  1. Double-click IconVerticalSpacing and set Value data to -1500 to change the vertical spacing between different icons. Then, click OK.

  1. Restart your computer.
