Re: Dekstop icon names too short

This can depend on the size of the Display setting that is set in Control Panel\ Display\Settings\Screen Resolution.
The smaller the resolution the more you see . It al depends how far you can set your resolution with what your Video card can support.

Gary,

On my friend's laptop they can see 3 lines of text and the whole file name,
so there has to be a setting that can do this.

Use shorter names. The names wrap at some certain point and a max of two
lines show. (Actually, the logic is a bit more complicated than that.) I
know of no way to make the lines wrap longer than they do, or to show more
than two lines.

Hello,

On my Windows XP desktop the names below the icons are too short, about 10
characters long. To see the whole icon name I have to click on the icon.
How do I make the names fully visible, able to see the whole file name, on
the desktop?

Thanks,
gmr2468
