    Right click the desktop and select Properties
    Select the Appearance tab
    Click the Advanced button
    Click the arrow next to the Item: window, then scroll to and select Icon Spacing (whichever you want to adjust; Horizontal or Vertical)
    Adjust the grid larger by entering a higher value or downsize with a smaller value
    Ok, then OK again to exit
    Now right click the desktop, point to Arrange Icons By and select Align to Grid
    Select Align to Grid a second time to see the changes
