Can't Line Up Icons

When I right click the desktop and click line up icons, nothing happens. It
was the same on this computer when I had win 98SE installed. I did an
upgrade install of Win2K and it still won't line up the icons on the
desktop. Am I missing some simple setting that would be the same in win 98SE
and 2k? TIA,

Tia,

You seem to have problems on a daily basis with this system. Ever thought
about doing a fresh install and rectifying them all?

Its not my system, its a friends, and I've never posted here before, so how
do you come to that conclusion.
A fresh install is not an option due to programs installed, etc.
The computer works fine, up to speed and all functions are ok. This is just
a visual thing, purely aesthetic.

Amir.

Go to settings/Control Panel/display/Appearance and then check that
your hoz and vertical icon distance's are a minimum of 34 pix, any
less and you are in trouble. I think they usually start at 48 or
thereabouts.

Thank You. That put me on the right track. Actually since my friend had
large icons selected, I had to take it up to 55 to get them to auto arrange.
Thanks, Amir
