    This is merely a question of aesthetics, nothing critical!

    On my old computer running Windows XP Home Edition I moved all my desktop icons to the bottom of the screen where the wording was hidden by the taskbar with just the picture icon showing, and the wording could be overlapped so the icons were closer together. This was so more of the photos used as desktop wallpaper was seen.

    On my new computer running Windows XP Media Centre Edition I can move the icons to the bottom of the screen but only slightly above the taskbar and the wording will not overlap or hide behind the task bar.

    Any suggestions, or I am being too picky?

    Right click on the Desktop->Arrange Icon by->UNCheck the "Align to Grid" option.
