  My question is not there in the FAQ
Asked questions on this answer:
  1. The desktop icons in Windows 10/11 are set a bit far apart by default, I do not want to reduce the size of the icons, one wonders if one can reduce it, the desktop icon distance.
  2. What do I have to click with the mouse button on a place on the desktop to make the icons closer to the Windows desktop?
  3. I have decided on small symbols, want to scale the desktop icons accordingly, alternatively desktop symbols can be steplessly adjusted?
  4. In DesktopOK I went to Windows Metrics and adjusted icon spacing from 10/110 to 90. The icons are now more compact, but the font is microscopic. Icon text is so tiny, it is unreadable. Windows Explorer and many dialog input boxes are also unreadable. I cannot do any file operations. I worked with Microsoft support on the phone for for 4 hours, and finally the only thing the could suggest is to create a new user account. What caused the fonts to suddenly become so tiny? How do I get them back to normal size? Hope you can help.?
  5. Can i change or maximize the number of windows desktop icon on Windows 10/11 Surface PRO?
  6. Can I maximize the desktop icons Windows 10/11 or 8.1 so place several on the desktop by reducing the distances?
  7. I want to adjust, scale or adjust the spacing of the icons individually and continuously, I have the desired grid, how do I do this?
  8. Who can show me how it works, that the program icons and file icons are closer to each other on the desktop, can I increase or decrease the icon spacing in Windows 10/11 as desired?
