My thanks to all who took the time to reply!
I have never seen these icon spacing values before, but they were exactly
what I needed!
The vertical spacing was originally set to 43. So, I up'ed it to 55
and did a [OK] and [Apply]. Windows moved my icons around with greater
vertical spacing between them.
However, 55 looked way too large, plus I was worried about its affect on
other windows, as FredP pointed out. So, I slowly decreased the value back
down from 55.
I ended up all the way back down to 43; the value where I started. However,
now, the icons aren't overlapping as they did originally.
My guess is that something got totally screwed up within Windows, and the
icon spacing Windows was using, wasn't even at the value of 43; as it was
orginally set to be at the time. Changing the value, and returning it
back to 43 seems to have fixed what ever the problem was. My icons are
now nicely spaced just like they were in Win 9x/ME.
Again, thanks!
