look at the code for the icons.  If you see the code <br> between the icon code, delete the <br>.  If theres </p><p> between them, delete this instead between the icons.  Have fun!

Assuming youre talking about I.E:\nGo to VIEW then TOOLBARS and you can uncheck or check what you want to see or not see.\n\nFor Desktop icons:\nThey are all shortcuts, you can just delete them.

No, not at all, but it makes it a little more cluttered up.  If you like nice clean things, or if you stick with that rumor, I would place everything similar together in groups, if you have Windows XP, place everything you can to the new style which takes off about 3 to 4 icons (my computer, Documents, etc.) and using that, I only have 3 icons now, 2 are only needed. 1 of them is Recycle Bin (can't do anything about that) and the other 2 is everything else. If i didnt have those 2 main folders, my desktop will be all covered

I have XP SP2, and I don't have a white vertical stripe.  Have you tried switching monitors to see if it's a problem with your monitor?  Also, but less likely, could be your graphics card.

It would help if you could provide additional information, as I'm not really sure as to what you mean by right-clicking in the add/remove programs control panel.  If you have an icon that you want to get rid of it and can't delete it, just select it and press the 'Delete' key.\n\nIf you want to send additional information and receive additional help,  you can e-mail me at kevinarbogast@yahoo.com

If you mean the drop shadow for the icon labels, go to Control Panel> System> Advanced> Performance> Settings> Visual Effects, then uncheck "Use drop shadows for icon labels".

You can either go vie the tools menu (the little cog symbol) or you can hit F10 to bring up the old-style menubar :)

if its xp it probably just needs to have the cookies, temporary internet files, and the msconfig startup cleaned out. how many icons do you have showing up next to the clock?

Umm... possibly, but that's a little extreme, don't you think?  I would first suggest getting a set of the default fonts, then deletign the contents of the fonts folder from the command prompt, rather than opening the folder, and replacing the defaults.

[rolls eyes at every poster above me]\n\nto make bigger ICONs\n\n\nusing XP\n\nRight-click on the desktop, choose 'properties'\nwhen the 'Display Properties' window opens choose 'Appearance', then click the 'effects' button.\nwhen the 'Effects' window opens, check the box that says\n"Use large Icons"\npress 'OK' twice.\n\ndone\n\nHope this helps !

This is one of the common icon cache problem\n\nGet the free Microsoft PowerToys, \nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx\n\nthen download and install the "Tweak UI"\n\nafter that, run the program and select Repair on the left panels, and then repair icon cache.

First is your tool bar locked or does it hide itself when not used ?\nThen are your icons set on "auto arrange" or do you have a desktop cleaning software installed ?

Right click the desktop background.  On the menu, select "Arrange Icons By" and make sure Auto Arrange and Align to Grid are unchecked.
