Desktop Icon Spacing for Windows

Alter spaces between desktop icons

Desktop Icon Spacing is a free personalization program developed by a software company that produces a lot of useful Windows tools. WinTools.Info released a handy utility that can be used to set a space in between your desktop icons. It can treat vertical and horizontal spacing separately so, the values of these components do not necessarily need to be the same. You can specify any space size that you find will fit your setup and preference.

Apply changes without computer restarting required

To begin setting up this personalization tool, you must save your workflow data and close other Windows opened first. There's a high chance that the software will restart the explorer process to apply the settings. Bear in mind though that this doesn't require you to restart your entire desktop, just the system that will allow you to store the current settings you applied to neatly space the desktop icons.

Once everything is set, you can proceed to change the spacing of your icons by adjusting their horizontal and vertical values. It's important to note that the higher the value you set, the more scattered your icons will look on your screen. To fit more icons on your home screen, you have to lower the spacing value. Although, the downside is it will be extra difficult for you to locate the certain icon app you want to use.

In case the explorer process doesn't restart automatically when you apply changes, you can manually do it under the 'Advanced' tab of the program. The file that this software offers is portable which means you can copy it to a removable USB drive, and launch it whenever you need to organize a desktop. All types of users can effortlessly get a hang of how to operate this tool especially that its user interface is pretty straightforward.

Organize your desktop better

Having a neatly organized computer screen is important to PC users for them to work more productively. Desktop Icon Spacing is a fundamental software solution for you to ensure that will always be the case. Without much effort required, it can arrange the spacing of your desktop icons and make them look better and easier to organize. It is portable, easy to use, and most importantly, free to install.
